Need Help with a Wayward Son?  Though Not in Beaufort, North Carolina, Would You Give Some Consideration to Gateway Christian Military School in Florida Instead?

Gateway Boys Academy is a lower cost military school in West Florida like no 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. When given the structure and discipline of a military school, wayward teen boys soon become respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Beaufort, North Carolina, You Can Set the Stage for a New Start and a New Direction for Your Boy by Having Him Come to Gateway

Over 1000 boys from all 50 states and internationally have turned their lives around at Gateway Boys Academy. We  accept boys from across the country, including from Beaufort, North Carolina.

Our Compassionate Staff Teach Our Students a Better Way to Live

Gateway Boys Academy serves young men ages 11 to 17 who have made rebellious choices in life. Our military school is situated in the panhandle of Florida, and our facility is accessible from Beaufort, North Carolina 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 number of our staff have been in your place, either having completed a similar program themselves or having enrolled a child 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 beneath the supervision of drill instructors. For the initial few months, physical exercise, a packed schedule, attention to neatness and chores give them structure and establish order in their lives.

At Gateway, boys realize they can stop struggling against authority and begin to increase in confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive as opposed to their previously destructive activities. In time, they promote to higher levels, earning privileges and responsibilities along the way. The senior level military school cadet is allowed to do off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through High-Quality Curriculum and Passionate Teachers. 

Most teens who had been failing or falling behind not just catch up but pull ahead. Gateway meets all standards [set 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 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 things are important at Gateway Boys Academy. We strive to introduce every cadet to a relationship with Jesus Christ and strive to establish a Godly atmosphere encouraging to Christian growth. Boys attend group Bible studies, go to chapel twice weekly, and meet with a counselor to discuss individually assigned Bible studies meant to build character.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway, we focus on family restoration. After four months, parents begin attending weekend conferences for teaching on boundaries and positive parenting.

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

Although it is not located in Beaufort, North Carolina, Gateway may be the type of environment your son needs to generate a positive change. Please call or submit our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
