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

Gateway Boys Academy serves teenage boys ages 11 to 17 who have made rebellious choices in life. Our military school is in the panhandle of Florida, and our school is accessible from Clarkton, North Carolina and cities around the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we focus on demonstrating the love of God to each student, surrounding him with compassionate care. Many of our staff have been in your place, either having been through 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 begin in our basic training platoon with the supervision of drill instructors. For the first few 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 begin 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 in the process. The highest level student is eligible for off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through Top-Notch Curriculum and Certified Teachers. 

Most students who were failing or falling behind not only catch up but pull ahead. We meet all standards [set by Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they graduate our academic program. Our school operates all year long as students study at their own speed through high-quality curriculum and certified teachers. Our high standards allow transfers 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 things are important at Gateway Boys Academy. We offer to every cadet a relationship with Jesus and strive to establish a Godly atmosphere conducive to Christian growth. Young men attend group Bible studies, go to chapel twice weekly, and spend time with a counselor to discuss individually assigned Bible studies designed for character development.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway Boys Academy, we promote family restoration. After four months of enrollment for the cadet, parents begin attending weekend events for training about boundaries and positive parenting.

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