Though not in Bailey, North Carolina, You Can Set the Stage for a New Start and a New Direction for Your Boy by Having Him Spend Time Here

Over 1000 boys from each of the 50 states and internationally have turned their lives around at Gateway Boys Academy. We  enroll young men from across the nation, including from Bailey, North Carolina.

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

Gateway Boys Academy serves teenage boys ages 11 to 17 who have made rebellious choices in life. Our military school is in the panhandle of Florida, and our academy is reachable from Bailey, North Carolina and cities throughout 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. Many 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 our Christian Military School

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

At Gateway, boys figure out how to stop struggling against authority and begin to get confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive as opposed to their previously destructive activities. Over time, they promote to higher levels, acquiring privileges and responsibilities as they move up. The trusted students are eligible for off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through Top-Notch Curriculum and Skilled Teachers. 

Most students who were failing or falling behind not only get up to date but get far ahead. Gateway meets all established by Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they complete our academic program. Our school operates all year round as students work at their own pace through high-quality curriculum and certified teachers. Our high standards allow transfers 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 establish a Godly atmosphere conducive to Christian growth. Young men attend group Bible studies, go to chapel two times a 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 concentrate on family restoration. After four months of enrollment for the cadet, parents begin attending weekend events to learn about boundaries and constructive parenting.

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

Although it is not located in Bailey, North Carolina, Gateway may be just the environment your teen needs to produce a change for the better. Please call or fill in our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
