Need Help with Your Teenage Boy?  Though Not in Bakersville, North Carolina, Would You Take a Look At Gateway Christian Military School in Florida Instead?

All of these are meant to bring about change in a boy’s heart and life. Within the structure and discipline of a military academy, wayward teen boys soon turn into respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Bakersville, 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 every state and internationally have turned their lives around at Gateway Boys Academy. We  accept young men from across the nation, including from Bakersville, North Carolina.

Our Friendly Staff Teach Our Students a Better Way to Live

Gateway Boys Academy serves teenagers ages 11 to 17 who have made rebellious choices in life. Our military school is in the panhandle of Florida, and our academy is accessible from Bakersville, North Carolina and cities throughout the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we believe in 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

Teens begin at the lowest rung of our level system. For the first months, physical exercise, a packed schedule, attention to orderliness and chores provide them with structure and establish order in their lives.

At Gateway, boys realize they can stop struggling against authority and start to increase in confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive rather than their previously destructive activities. Over time, they promote to higher levels, acquiring 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 Passionate Teachers. 

Most boys who have been failing or falling behind not only catch up but get ahead. We meet all requirements by Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they graduate our academic program. Our academy operates all year long as students work at their own pace through top-notch 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 offer to every cadet a relationship with Jesus and strive to create a Godly atmosphere helpful to Christian growth. Students attend group Bible studies, go to chapel services twice each week, and work with a counselor to complete individually assigned Bible studies designed for character development.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway Boys Academy, we give attention to family restoration. After four months of enrollment for the cadet, parents begin attending weekend seminars for training about boundaries and effective 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 turn his life around, please consider Gateway.

Although not located in Bakersville, North Carolina, Gateway can be just the environment your son needs to create a change for the better. Please call or complete our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
