Need Help with a Wayward Son?  Though Not in Calabash, North Carolina, 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 unlike any other. We include an accredited school, as well as 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. When given the structure and order of a military academy, wayward teen boys soon turn into respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Calabash, North 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 changed the course of their lives at Gateway Boys Academy. We  serve boys from across the country, including from Calabash, North Carolina.

Our Friendly Staff Teach Our Students a Better Way to Live

Gateway Boys Academy serves teenage boys ages 11 to 17 who have made rebellious choices in life. Our military school is in the panhandle of Florida, and our academy is accessible from Calabash, North Carolina and cities throughout the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we commit to demonstrating the love of God to every single cadet, surrounding him with compassionate care. A number of our staff have been in your situation, 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 Military School

Students begin in our basic training platoon under 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 figure out how to stop struggling against authority and start to get confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive as opposed to their previously destructive activities. Eventually, they promote to higher levels, gaining 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 were failing or falling behind not just get up to date but get ahead. Gateway meets all established by the State of Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they graduate our academic program. School takes place 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

We emphasize spiritual life at Gateway Boys Academy. We strive to introduce every cadet to a relationship with Jesus Christ and strive to create a Godly atmosphere encouraging to Christian growth. Students attend group Bible studies, go to chapel twice each week, and meet with a counselor to pursue individually assigned Bible studies designed for character growth.

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 conferences for teaching on 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 put his life in order, please consider Gateway.

Although not located in Calabash, North Carolina, Gateway can be the sort of environment your son needs to create a positive change. Please call or fill out our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
