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

Gateway Boys Academy serves boys ages 11 to 17 who have gone off-track with life. Our military school is in the panhandle of Florida, and our academy is accessible from Cherryville, North Carolina and cities around the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we believe in demonstrating the love of God to each and every cadet, surrounding him with compassionate care. A few of our staff have been in your shoes, 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 Military School

Teens begin at the lowest rung of our level system. For the initial months, physical exercise, a packed schedule, attention to orderliness and chores give them structure and establish order in their lives.

At Gateway, boys learn to stop struggling against authority and begin to grow in confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive rather than their previously destructive activities. Over time, they promote to higher levels, gaining privileges and responsibilities along the way. The highest level student is permitted to participate in off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through High-Quality Curriculum and Certified Teachers. 

Most teens who had been failing or falling behind not just get caught up but get far ahead. Gateway meets all qualifications by Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they graduate our academic program. Classes run year-round as students work 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 offer to every cadet a relationship with Jesus Christ and strive to maintain a Godly atmosphere favorable to Christian growth. Students attend group Bible studies, go to chapel twice weekly, and spend time with a counselor to pursue individually assigned Bible studies designed for character growth.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway Boys Academy, we concentrate 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 away from their self-destructive behavior to a life of serving others. If your teenage boy needs order and discipline to put his life in order, please consider Gateway.

Although it is not located in Cherryville, North Carolina, Gateway may be the sort of environment your boy needs to generate a change for the better. Please call or submit our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
