Need Help with Your Teenage Boy?  Though Not in Blackstone, 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 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 meant to bring about change in a boy’s heart and life. With the structure and order of a military academy, wayward teen boys soon turn into respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Blackstone, Virginia, 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  serve teen boys from all around the nation, including from Blackstone, Virginia.

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

Gateway Boys Academy serves young men ages 11 to 17 who have gone off-track with life. Our military school is in the panhandle of Florida, and our campus is reachable from Blackstone, Virginia and cities around the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we commit to demonstrating the love of God to each student, surrounding him with compassionate care. Several of our staff have been in your shoes, either having been through 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 begin at the lowest rung of our level system. For the first few months, physical exercise, a packed schedule, attention to cleanliness and chores give them structure and establish order in their lives.

At Gateway, boys figure out how to stop struggling against authority and start to get confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive rather than their previously destructive activities. Eventually, they promote to higher levels, acquiring privileges and responsibilities in the process. The trusted students are permitted to participate in off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through High-Quality Curriculum and Certified Teachers. 

Most students who had been failing or falling behind not just get up to date but get ahead. We meet all requirements by Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they complete our academic program. Our academy operates year-round as students study at their own pace through top-notch 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 life forms a large part of life at Gateway Boys Academy. We offer to every cadet a relationship with Jesus Christ and strive to establish a Godly atmosphere encouraging to Christian growth. Students attend group Bible studies, go to chapel services two times a week, and work with a counselor to pursue individually assigned Bible studies intended for character development.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway Boys Academy, we concentrate on 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 an attitude of serving others. If your teenager needs order and discipline to put his life in order, please consider Gateway.

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