Though not in Boonville, North Carolina, You Can Set the Stage for a New Start and a New Direction for Your Boy by Having Him Spend Time Here

Our Friendly Staff Teach Our Students a Better Way to Live

Gateway Boys Academy serves teenage boys ages 11 to 17 who have gone off-track with life. Our military school is situated in the panhandle of Florida, and our facility is accessible from Boonville, North Carolina and cities across the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we believe in demonstrating the love of God to each and every cadet, surrounding him with compassionate care. Several of our staff have been in your place, either having attended 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

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

At Gateway, boys learn to stop struggling against authority and begin to gain confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive instead of their previously destructive activities. Eventually, they promote to higher levels, acquiring privileges and responsibilities along the way. The senior behavioral level student is eligible for off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through First-Rate Curriculum and Certified Teachers. 

Most students who were failing or falling behind not only get caught up but get ahead. Gateway meets all qualifications by Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they complete our academic program. School takes place 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 things are important at Gateway Boys Academy. We offer to every cadet a relationship with Jesus Christ and strive to create a Godly atmosphere conducive to Christian growth. Boys attend group Bible studies, go to chapel services twice a week, and spend time with a counselor to complete individually assigned Bible studies designed for character development.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway Boys Academy, we promote family restoration. After four months of enrollment for the cadet, parents begin attending weekend conferences for training about boundaries and effective parenting.

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

Although not located in Boonville, North Carolina, Gateway may be just the environment your boy needs to create a change for the better. Please call or complete our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
