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

Gateway Boys Academy serves boys ages 11 to 17 who have chosen a dangerous path in life. Our military school is situated in the panhandle of Florida, and our campus is reachable from Delbarton, West Virginia and cities throughout the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we commit to demonstrating the love of God to every single cadet, surrounding him with compassionate care. Many of our staff have been in your shoes, 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 Our Military School

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

At Gateway, boys learn to stop struggling against authority and start to gain 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 allowed to do off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through High-Quality Curriculum and Passionate Teachers. 

Most boys who have been failing or falling behind not just get caught up but get ahead. Gateway meets all standards [set by Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas at the completion of our academic program. Classes run year-round as students work at their own speed through first-rate 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 strive to introduce every cadet to a relationship with Jesus and strive to create a Godly atmosphere favorable to Christian growth. Students attend group Bible studies, go to chapel twice each week, and spend time with a counselor for individually assigned Bible studies meant to build character.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway, we focus on family restoration. After four months, parents begin attending weekend seminars for teaching on boundaries and effective parenting.

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