Need HELP WITH A BOY THAT IS FAILING IN SCHOOL AND LIFE?  Though Not in Barboursville, West Virginia, 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 like no other. We include an accredited school, as well as 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. Under the structure and order of a military academy, wayward teen boys soon become respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Barboursville, West Virginia, 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 all 50 states and internationally have turned their lives around at Gateway Boys Academy. We  enroll boys from across the nation, including from Barboursville, West Virginia.

Our Compassionate Staff Teach Our Students a Better Way to Live

Gateway Boys Academy serves teenage boys ages 11 to 17 who have made rebellious choices in life. Our campus is located in the panhandle of Florida, and our school is reachable from Barboursville, West Virginia and cities around the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we commit to demonstrating the love of God to every single cadet, surrounding him with compassionate care. A few of our staff have been in your place, either having completed a similar program themselves or having enrolled a teen of their own in our military school in the past.

Boys are Transformed through Our Military School

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

At Gateway, boys figure out how to stop struggling against authority and begin to gain confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive as opposed 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 permitted to participate in off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through Top-Notch Curriculum and Skilled Teachers. 

Most boys who have been failing or falling behind not just get caught up 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 academy operates all year round as students work at their own pace 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 Spiritual Relationship, 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 Jesus Christ and strive to keep a Godly atmosphere encouraging to Christian growth. Boys attend group Bible studies, go to chapel services two times a week, and meet with a counselor to discuss individually assigned Bible studies designed to build character.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway Boys Academy, we give attention to family restoration. After four months, parents begin attending weekend conferences for training about boundaries and effective parenting.

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

Although not located in Barboursville, West Virginia, Gateway may be the type of environment your boy needs to produce a positive change. Please call or fill out our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
