Our Understanding, 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 campus is located in the panhandle of Florida, and our academy is reachable from Burnsville, North Carolina and cities throughout the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we believe in demonstrating the love of God to every single cadet, surrounding him with compassionate care. Several of our staff have been in your place, either having been through 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

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

At Gateway, boys begin to stop struggling against authority and begin to get confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive instead of their previously destructive activities. Eventually, they promote to higher levels, obtaining privileges and responsibilities in the process. The upper level military school cadet is eligible for off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through First-Rate Curriculum and Skilled Teachers. 

Most students who have been failing or falling behind not just get up to date but get far ahead. Gateway meets all standards [set by Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they graduate our academic program. School takes place year-round as students work 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 Relationship with God, Direction and Purpose In Life

Spiritual things are important at Gateway Boys Academy. We strive to introduce every cadet to a relationship with Jesus Christ and strive to create a Godly atmosphere favorable to Christian growth. Students attend group Bible studies, go to chapel services twice each week, and work with a counselor to pursue individually assigned Bible studies designed for character growth.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway Boys Academy, we promote family restoration. After four months, parents begin attending weekend seminars to learn about boundaries and effective parenting.

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