Need Help with a Wayward Son?  Though Not in Coats, North Carolina, Would You Consider Gateway Christian Military School in Florida Instead?

Gateway Boys Academy is a lower cost military school in West Florida unlike any other. We have a military academy, 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 designed to bring about change in a boy’s heart and life. Similar to the structure and order of a military school, at Gateway wayward teen boys soon turn into respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Coats, North 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 put their lives back on track at Gateway Boys Academy. We  serve boys from around the country, including from Coats, North Carolina.

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

Gateway Boys Academy serves young men ages 11 to 17 who have made rebellious choices in life. Our military school is situated in the panhandle of Florida, and our school is reachable from Coats, North Carolina and cities across the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we believe in demonstrating the love of God to every single cadet, surrounding him with compassionate care. A few 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

Boys start in our basic training platoon with the supervision of drill instructors. For the initial few months, physical training, a packed schedule, attention to cleanliness and chores surround them with structure and establish order in their lives.

At Gateway, boys begin to stop struggling against authority and start to increase in confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive as opposed to their previously destructive activities. Eventually, they promote to higher levels, earning 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 boys who had been failing or falling behind not just get caught up but pull 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. School takes place all year-round as students study at their own speed 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 things are important at Gateway Boys Academy. We offer to every cadet a relationship with Jesus Christ and strive to create a Godly atmosphere favorable to Christian growth. Students attend group Bible studies, go to chapel twice a week, and spend time with a counselor to complete individually assigned Bible studies intended for character development.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway, we focus on family restoration. After four months, parents begin attending weekend events for training about boundaries and positive parenting.

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

Although not located in Coats, North Carolina, Gateway may be the sort of environment your boy needs to generate a change for the better. We invite you to call or complete our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
