Need HELP WITH A BOY THAT IS FAILING IN SCHOOL AND LIFE?  Though Not in Dayton, Virginia, Would You Take a Look At Gateway Christian Military School in Florida Instead?

Gateway Boys Academy is a lower cost military school in West Florida unlike any other. We are 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 meant 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 Dayton, Virginia, You Can Set the Stage for a New Start and a New Direction for Your Boy by Having Him Come to Gateway

Over 1000 boys from each of the 50 states and internationally have turned their lives around at Gateway Boys Academy. We  serve boys from all around the nation, including from Dayton, Virginia.

Our Friendly 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 school is reachable from Dayton, Virginia 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. Several of our staff have been in your shoes, either having been through a similar program themselves or having enrolled a son of their own in our military school in the past.

Boys are Transformed through Gateway Boys Academy

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

At Gateway, boys realize they can stop struggling against authority and start to increase in confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive as an alternative to their previously destructive activities. Eventually, they promote to higher levels, earning privileges and responsibilities in the process. The upper level military school cadet is eligible for off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through First-Rate Curriculum and Passionate Teachers. 

Most teens who have been failing or falling behind not just catch up but get far ahead. We meet all standards [set by Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they complete our academic program. School takes place all year long as students work at their own pace 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 Spiritual Relationship, Direction, and Purpose In Life

Spiritual life forms a large part of life at Gateway Boys Academy. We strive to introduce every cadet to a relationship with Jesus Christ and strive to create a Godly atmosphere encouraging to Christian growth. Boys attend group Bible studies, go to chapel twice each week, and spend time with a counselor to pursue individually assigned Bible studies meant for character development.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway Boys Academy, we give attention to family restoration. After four months, parents begin attending weekend conferences for teaching on boundaries and positive parenting.

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

Although it is not located in Dayton, Virginia, Gateway could be just the environment your teen needs to produce a change for the better. We invite you to call or complete our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
