The Alternative School for Difficult Boys

Gateway is all about building character and critical-thinking

When boys get off track in life, they need discipline and order. They need to learn a trade and begin to show respect for authority and for their loved ones. And most of all, they need to learn the importance of having God in their lives. Gateway remains regimented from its military school roots, but it now blends a character-enriching and vocational program into its military-like decorum. The boarding school has eliminated the meaningless drills of typical military schools and boot camps while adding vocational and faith elements.

“Gateway is the only remaining military school that works exclusively with boys who have gotten in trouble with the law or expelled from public or private school.”  — MilitarySchoolUSA.com

More life-changing than military schools and boot camps

Gateway turns around boys from the inside out.  If you could see the before and after pictures of the boys who come to Gateway, you would see boys who were once destined to be school dropouts or in trouble with the law who have blossomed into confident, happy, and caring young men. You would see once selfish boys with a chip on their shoulders who are now ready to give someone in need the shirt off their back. You would see once aimless boys now with self-respect, respect for others, and direction and purpose for their life.
