Need HELP WITH A BOY THAT IS FAILING IN SCHOOL AND LIFE?  Though Not in Buckhannon, West Virginia, Would You Give Some Consideration to 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 discipline of a military school, wayward teenage boys soon become respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Buckhannon, West 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 each of the 50 states and internationally have put their lives back on track at Gateway Boys Academy. We  accept teen boys from around the country, including from Buckhannon, West Virginia.

Our Compassionate 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 situated in the panhandle of Florida, and our school is reachable from Buckhannon, West Virginia and cities throughout the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we commit to demonstrating the love of God to every cadet, surrounding him with compassionate care. A number of our staff have been in your shoes, 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 Military School

Students begin at the bottom rung of our level system. For the initial few months, physical exercise, a packed schedule, attention to neatness 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 grow 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 along the way. The senior level military school cadet is allowed to do off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through First-Rate Curriculum and Skilled Teachers. 

Most teens who were failing or falling behind not just get up to date but pull ahead. Gateway meets all established by the State of Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they graduate our academic program. Our school operates all year round as students study at their own speed through first-rate 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

We emphasize spiritual life at Gateway Boys Academy. We offer to every cadet a relationship with Christ and strive to keep a Godly atmosphere encouraging to Christian growth. Boys attend group Bible studies, go to chapel services two times a week, and work with a counselor to discuss individually assigned Bible studies intended for character growth.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway Boys Academy, we concentrate on family restoration. After four months of enrollment for the cadet, parents begin attending weekend events to learn about boundaries and positive parenting.

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

Although it is not located in Buckhannon, West Virginia, Gateway can be the type of environment your boy needs to produce a change for the better. Please call or complete our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
