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

Gateway Boys Academy serves teenage boys ages 11 to 17 who have chosen a dangerous path in life. Our campus is located in the panhandle of Florida, and our facility is accessible from Butner, North Carolina and cities across the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we believe in demonstrating the love of God to every cadet, surrounding him with compassionate care. A few of our staff have been in your place, either having attended a similar program themselves or having enrolled a child 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 training, 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 begin to grow in confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive as an alternative to their previously destructive activities. Over time, they promote to higher levels, obtaining 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 Certified Teachers. 

Most boys who were failing or falling behind not only get up to date but get ahead. Gateway meets all standards [set by Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they complete our academic program. Our school operates year-round as students work at their own speed through first-rate curriculum and certified teachers. Our high standards allow credits to transfer 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 Christ and strive to keep a Godly atmosphere conducive to Christian growth. Students attend group Bible studies, go to chapel services two times a week, and meet with a counselor to pursue individually assigned Bible studies designed for character development.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway Boys Academy, we give attention to family restoration. Four months after the cadet enrolls, parents begin attending weekend events for teaching on boundaries and effective parenting.

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

Although not located in Butner, North Carolina, Gateway may be the type of environment your teen needs to produce a positive change. Please call or fill out our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
