Need HELP WITH A BOY THAT IS FAILING IN SCHOOL AND LIFE?  Though Not in Abbeville, South Carolina, Would You Take a Look At Gateway Christian Military School in Florida Instead?

Gateway Boys Academy is a lower cost military school in West Florida unlike any other. We have a military academy, an accredited school, and a working ranch and farm, as well as counseling and mentoring, competitive team sports, a spiritual emphasis, and hands-on outreach to help disadvantaged people in third-world countries. All of these are designed to bring about change in a boy’s heart and life. Similar to the structure and order of a military school, at Gateway wayward teenage boys soon turn into respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Our Compassionate Staff Teach Our Boarding School Students a Better Way to Live

Gateway Boys Academy serves young men ages 11 to 17 who have chosen a dangerous path in life. Our military school is situated in the panhandle of Florida, and our academy is accessible from Abbeville, South Carolina and cities around the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we commit to demonstrating the love of God to each and every cadet, surrounding him with compassionate care. A few of our staff have been in your shoes, either having completed a similar program themselves or having enrolled a son of their own in our military school in the past.

Boys are Transformed through Gateway Boys Academy

Boys start in our basic training platoon with the supervision of drill instructors. For the initial few months, physical exercise, a packed schedule, attention to cleanliness and chores surround them with structure and establish order in their lives.

At Gateway, boys learn to stop struggling against authority and begin to increase in confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive instead of their previously destructive activities. Eventually, they promote to higher levels, obtaining privileges and responsibilities in the process. The trusted students are able to do off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through High-Quality Curriculum and Certified Teachers. 

Most boys who were failing or falling behind not only get up to date but get far ahead. We meet all requirements by the State of Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they graduate our academic program. Our school operates all year round as students study at their own speed through top-notch curriculum and certified teachers. Our high standards allow credits to transfer to public institutions or to go on to college or the military.

Boys Discover a New Relationship with God, Direction and Purpose In Life

Spiritual things are important at Gateway Boys Academy. We strive to introduce every cadet to a relationship with Jesus Christ and strive to create a Godly atmosphere favorable to Christian growth. Young men attend group Bible studies, go to chapel services twice each week, and spend time with a counselor to complete individually assigned Bible studies intended for character development.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway Boys Academy, we give attention to family restoration. After four months, parents begin attending weekend events for teaching on boundaries and positive parenting.

Most students in our program turn from their self-destructive behavior to an attitude of serving others. If your teenager needs order and discipline to put his life in order, please consider Gateway.

Although not located in Abbeville, South Carolina, Gateway can be just the environment your boy needs to create a positive change. Please call or submit our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
