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

Gateway Boys Academy serves boys ages 11 to 17 who have chosen a dangerous path in life. Our military school is in the panhandle of Florida, and our facility is reachable from Appomattox, Virginia and cities around the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we focus on demonstrating the love of God to every cadet, surrounding him with compassionate care. Many of our staff have been in your place, 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 Our Military School

Teens begin in our basic training platoon under the supervision of drill instructors. For the first few months, physical training, a packed schedule, attention to cleanliness and chores provide them with structure and establish order in their lives.

At Gateway, boys learn to stop struggling against authority and begin to gain confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive as an alternative to their previously destructive activities. Eventually, they promote to higher levels, earning privileges and responsibilities as they move up. The upper level military school cadet is allowed to do off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through First-Rate Curriculum and Certified Teachers. 

Most boys who have been failing or falling behind not only get up to date but get ahead. Gateway meets all qualifications by the State of Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas at the completion of our academic program. School takes place year-round as students study at their own speed through first-rate curriculum and certified teachers. Our high standards allow students to transfer back 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 life forms a large part of life at Gateway Boys Academy. We strive to introduce every cadet to a relationship with Christ and strive to maintain a Godly atmosphere encouraging to Christian growth. Young men attend group Bible studies, go to chapel services two times a week, and work with a counselor for individually assigned Bible studies designed for character growth.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway, we focus on family restoration. After four months of enrollment for the cadet, parents begin attending weekend events for teaching on boundaries and effective parenting.

Most students in our program turn from their self-destructive behavior to a life of serving others. If your son needs order and discipline to change his direction, please consider Gateway.

Although not located in Appomattox, Virginia, Gateway could be the kind of environment your boy needs to produce a positive change. Please call or complete our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
