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 situated in the panhandle of Florida, and our academy is reachable from Dudley, North Carolina and cities across the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we commit to demonstrating the love of God to each student, surrounding him with compassionate care. Many of our staff have been in your place, either having completed a similar program themselves or having enrolled a child of their own in our military school in the past.

Boys are Transformed through our Christian Military School

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

At Gateway, boys figure out how to stop struggling against authority and begin to gain 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 as they move up. The trusted students are able to do off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through First-Rate Curriculum and Certified Teachers. 

Most teens who were failing or falling behind not only get caught up but pull ahead. We meet all standards [set by the State of Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas at the completion of our academic program. Our school operates all year round as students work at their own pace through first-rate 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 Spiritual Relationship, Direction, and Purpose In Life

Spiritual things are important at Gateway Boys Academy. We strive to introduce every cadet to a relationship with Jesus Christ and strive to maintain a Godly atmosphere helpful to Christian growth. Young men attend group Bible studies, go to chapel services two times a week, and work with a counselor to discuss individually assigned Bible studies intended to build character.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway Boys Academy, we concentrate on family restoration. After four months, parents begin attending weekend events to learn about boundaries and positive parenting.

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

Although it is not located in Dudley, North Carolina, Gateway could be the type of environment your son needs to create a positive change. We invite you to call or fill in our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
