Need HELP WITH A BOY THAT IS FAILING IN SCHOOL AND LIFE?  Though Not in Chapin, South Carolina, Would You Take a Look At Gateway Christian Military School in Florida Instead?

We include 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. When given the structure and order of a military academy, wayward teenage boys soon become respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Chapin, South Carolina, You Can Set the Stage for a New Start and a New Direction for Your Boy by Having Him Spend Time Here

Over 1000 boys from each of the 50 states and internationally have turned their lives around at Gateway Boys Academy. We  accept teen boys from across the country, including from Chapin, South Carolina.

Our Understanding, 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 campus is located in the panhandle of Florida, and our school is accessible from Chapin, South Carolina and cities around 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 few of our staff have been in your shoes, 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

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

At Gateway, boys figure out how to stop struggling against authority and start to increase in confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive instead of their previously destructive activities. In time, they promote to higher levels, acquiring privileges and responsibilities as they move up. The senior level military school cadet is permitted to participate in off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through High-Quality Curriculum and Skilled Teachers. 

Most students who were failing or falling behind not just catch up but get ahead. We meet all standards [set by Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they graduate our academic program. Classes run all year long as students work at their own pace through high-quality 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 life forms a large part of life at Gateway Boys Academy. We offer to every cadet a relationship with Jesus Christ and strive to keep a Godly atmosphere encouraging to Christian growth. Boys attend group Bible studies, go to chapel two times a week, and spend time with a counselor for individually assigned Bible studies meant for character growth.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway, we focus on family restoration. Four months after the cadet enrolls, parents begin attending weekend seminars for training about boundaries and constructive parenting.

Most students in our program turn 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 it is not located in Chapin, South Carolina, Gateway can be just the environment your teen needs to make a change for the better. We invite you to call or fill in our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
