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

Gateway Boys Academy serves teenage boys ages 11 to 17 who have gone off-track with life. Our military school is situated in the panhandle of Florida, and our academy is accessible from Chesterfield, South Carolina and cities across the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we believe in demonstrating the love of God to 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 son of their own in our military school in the past.

Boys are Transformed through our Christian Military School

Boys begin at the lowest rung of our level system. For the first few months, physical training, a packed schedule, attention to orderliness and chores provide them with structure and establish order in their lives.

At Gateway, boys realize they can stop struggling against authority and begin to increase in confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive instead of their previously destructive activities. Over time, they promote to higher levels, gaining privileges and responsibilities in the process. The highest level student is permitted to participate in off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through Top-Notch Curriculum and Passionate Teachers. 

Most boys who have been failing or falling behind not just catch up but get far ahead. Gateway meets all requirements by the State of Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas at the completion of our academic program. Our academy operates all year long as students work at their own speed through first-rate 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

Spiritual things are important at Gateway Boys Academy. We offer to every cadet a relationship with Christ and strive to establish a Godly atmosphere conducive to Christian growth. Young men attend group Bible studies, go to chapel services 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, we focus on family restoration. After four months of enrollment for the cadet, parents begin attending weekend events for teaching on boundaries and positive parenting.

Most students in our program turn from their self-destructive behavior to a lifetime of serving others. If your teenage boy needs order and discipline to turn his life around, please consider Gateway.

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