Need HELP WITH A BOY THAT IS FAILING IN SCHOOL AND LIFE?  Though Not in Blacksburg, South Carolina, 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 have 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. Within the structure and order of a military school, wayward teen boys soon turn into respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Blacksburg, South 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 changed the course of their lives at Gateway Boys Academy. We  enroll teen boys from all around the nation, including from Blacksburg, South 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 situated in the panhandle of Florida, and our academy is accessible from Blacksburg, South Carolina and cities across the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we focus on demonstrating the love of God to each and every cadet, surrounding him with compassionate care. A number of our staff have been in your situation, 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 Christian Military School

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

At Gateway, boys begin to 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, obtaining privileges and responsibilities along the way. The highest level student is able to do off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through Top-Notch Curriculum and Certified Teachers. 

Most boys who were failing or falling behind not only catch up but get far ahead. Gateway meets all qualifications by Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they graduate our academic program. Our school operates all year round as students work at their own pace through high-quality 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 Christ and strive to keep a Godly atmosphere favorable to Christian growth. Young men attend group Bible studies, go to chapel services twice a week, and spend time with a counselor to complete individually assigned Bible studies intended for character growth.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

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

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

Although it is not located in Blacksburg, South Carolina, Gateway may be the kind of environment your son needs to generate a change for the better. Please call or fill in our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
