Our Friendly Staff Teach Our Boarding School Students a Better Way to Live

Gateway Boys Academy serves teenagers ages 11 to 17 who have made rebellious choices in life. Our military school is situated in the panhandle of Florida, and our facility is accessible from Carrboro, North Carolina and cities throughout the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we focus on demonstrating the love of God to each and every cadet, surrounding him with compassionate care. Several of our staff have been in your situation, 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 Gateway Boys Academy

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

At Gateway, boys realize they can stop struggling against authority and begin to get confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive as opposed to their previously destructive activities. Eventually, they promote to higher levels, acquiring privileges and responsibilities in the process. The senior behavioral level student is eligible for off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through First-Rate Curriculum and Skilled Teachers. 

Most students who had been failing or falling behind not only catch up but get ahead. We meet all standards [set by Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they complete our academic program. Our academy operates all year long as students study at their own speed through top-notch 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 life forms a large part of life at Gateway Boys Academy. We strive to introduce every cadet to a relationship with Jesus and strive to establish a Godly atmosphere favorable to Christian growth. Young men attend group Bible studies, go to chapel services twice each week, and work with a counselor for individually assigned Bible studies intended for character growth.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway, we focus on family restoration. After four months of enrollment for the cadet, parents begin attending weekend seminars for training about boundaries and effective parenting.

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

Although it is not located in Carrboro, North Carolina, Gateway may be the type of environment your son needs to create a change for the better. Please call or complete our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
