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

Gateway Boys Academy serves teenagers ages 11 to 17 who have gone off-track with life. Our military school is situated in the panhandle of Florida, and our facility is reachable from Chesnee, South Carolina and cities across 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. Many 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 Christian Military School

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

At Gateway, boys realize they can stop struggling against authority and start to grow in confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive instead of their previously destructive activities. Eventually, they promote to higher levels, gaining privileges and responsibilities as they move up. The highest level student is able to do off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through First-Rate Curriculum and Certified Teachers. 

Most teens who have been failing or falling behind not just catch up but get far ahead. We meet all qualifications by the State of Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas at the completion of our academic program. Classes run year-round as students study at their own speed through top-notch 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 Spiritual Relationship, 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 Christ and strive to create a Godly atmosphere conducive to Christian growth. Students attend group Bible studies, go to chapel services twice a week, and meet with a counselor to pursue individually assigned Bible studies intended for character growth.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway Boys Academy, we promote family restoration. Four months after the cadet enrolls, parents begin attending weekend events for training about boundaries and effective parenting.

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

Although not located in Chesnee, South Carolina, Gateway could be the kind of environment your boy needs to generate a positive change. Please call or fill in our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
