Over 1000 boys from each of the 50 states and internationally have turned their lives around at Gateway Boys Academy. We  enroll teen boys from all around the nation, including from Bessemer City, North Carolina.

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

Gateway Boys Academy serves teenagers ages 11 to 17 who have gone off-track with life. Our campus is located in the panhandle of Florida, and our campus is reachable from Bessemer City, North Carolina and cities across the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we focus on demonstrating the love of God to each student, surrounding him with compassionate care. A few of our staff have been in your situation, 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

Teens start in our basic training platoon with the supervision of drill instructors. For the first few months, physical exercise, a packed schedule, attention to cleanliness 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 as an alternative to their previously destructive activities. Eventually, they promote to higher levels, acquiring privileges and responsibilities in the process. The upper level military school cadet is permitted to participate in off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through First-Rate Curriculum and Passionate Teachers. 

Most boys who were 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 academy operates all year round as students study at their own speed through high-quality 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 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 create a Godly atmosphere helpful to Christian growth. Young men attend group Bible studies, go to chapel two times a week, and meet with a counselor to pursue 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 events for teaching on boundaries and constructive parenting.

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

Although it is not located in Bessemer City, North Carolina, Gateway could be the kind of environment your boy needs to make a change for the better. We invite you to call or fill in our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
