Need Help with a Wayward Son?  Though Not in Berryville, Virginia, Would You Consider Gateway Christian Military School in Florida Instead?

Gateway Boys Academy is a lower cost military school in West Florida unlike any other. We are a military academy, 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. When given the structure and order of a military academy, wayward teen boys soon become respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Berryville, 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 every state and internationally have put their lives back on track at Gateway Boys Academy. We  enroll young men from around the country, including from Berryville, Virginia.

Our Understanding, Staff Teach Our Students a Better Way to Live

Gateway Boys Academy serves boys ages 11 to 17 who have gone off-track with life. Our military school is in the panhandle of Florida, and our facility is reachable from Berryville, Virginia 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. 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 Gateway Boys Academy

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

At Gateway, boys begin to stop struggling against authority and begin to gain confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive as opposed to their previously destructive activities. In time, they promote to higher levels, obtaining privileges and responsibilities along the way. The highest level student is permitted to participate in off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through High-Quality Curriculum and Certified Teachers. 

Most teens who had been failing or falling behind not just get up to date but pull ahead. We meet all established by the State of Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they graduate our academic program. Classes run all year long as students study at their own speed through first-rate 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 Spiritual Relationship, Direction, and Purpose In Life

Spiritual things are important at Gateway Boys Academy. We strive to introduce every cadet to a relationship with Jesus and strive to maintain a Godly atmosphere helpful to Christian growth. Boys attend group Bible studies, go to chapel twice weekly, and spend time with a counselor to complete individually assigned Bible studies designed for character growth.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway Boys Academy, we give attention to family restoration. Four months after the cadet enrolls, parents begin attending weekend events to learn about boundaries and constructive parenting.

Most students in our program turn away from their self-destructive behavior to an attitude of serving others. If your teenage boy needs order and discipline to change his direction, please consider Gateway.

Although it is not located in Berryville, Virginia, Gateway could be the sort of environment your boy needs to make a change for the better. Please call or complete our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
