Need Help with a Wayward Son?  Though Not in Blythewood, South Carolina, 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 school, wayward teenage boys soon become respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Blythewood, South 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 each of the 50 states and internationally have put their lives back on track at Gateway Boys Academy. We  serve teen boys from all around the nation, including from Blythewood, South Carolina.

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

Gateway Boys Academy serves young men ages 11 to 17 who have chosen a dangerous path in life. Our military school is in the panhandle of Florida, and our academy is reachable from Blythewood, South Carolina 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. Many of our staff have been in your shoes, either having completed a similar program themselves or having enrolled a son of their own in our military school in the past.

Boys are Transformed through our Christian Military School

For the initial 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 begin to get confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive rather than their previously destructive activities. Over time, they promote to higher levels, earning privileges and responsibilities as they move up. The upper level military school cadet is allowed to do off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through High-Quality Curriculum and Skilled Teachers. 

Most teens who were failing or falling behind not just get caught up but pull ahead. Gateway meets all qualifications by the State of Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they complete our academic program. Classes run year-round as students study at their own speed 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 Spiritual Relationship, 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 establish a Godly atmosphere encouraging to Christian growth. Boys attend group Bible studies, go to chapel services twice each week, and meet with a counselor to discuss individually assigned Bible studies meant for character development.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway, we focus on family restoration. Four months after the cadet enrolls, parents begin attending weekend seminars to learn about 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 change his direction, please consider Gateway.

Although it is not located in Blythewood, South Carolina, Gateway may be just the environment your boy needs to make a positive change. Please call or submit our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
