Need HELP WITH A BOY THAT IS FAILING IN SCHOOL AND LIFE?  Though Not in Dumfries, Virginia, Would You Give Some Consideration to 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 meant to bring about change in a boy’s heart and life. Within the structure and discipline of a military school, wayward teenage boys soon turn into respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Dumfries, Virginia, 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 every state and internationally have found a change of heart at Gateway Boys Academy. We  serve teen boys from all around the nation, including from Dumfries, Virginia.

Our Compassionate Staff Teach Our Students a Better Way to Live

Gateway Boys Academy serves young men ages 11 to 17 who have chosen a dangerous path in life. Our military school is situated in the panhandle of Florida, and our school is accessible from Dumfries, Virginia and cities across 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. A number 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 Military School

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

At Gateway, boys realize they can stop struggling against authority and begin to gain confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive instead of their previously destructive activities. Eventually, they promote to higher levels, acquiring privileges and responsibilities along the way. The trusted students are allowed to do 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 get up to date but pull ahead. We meet all qualifications by Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they complete our academic program. School takes place all year-round as students study at their own pace through high-quality 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 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 Christ and strive to keep a Godly atmosphere encouraging to Christian growth. Young men attend group Bible studies, go to chapel two times a week, and work with a counselor to pursue individually assigned Bible studies intended for character development.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway Boys Academy, we give attention to family restoration. Four months after the cadet enrolls, parents begin attending weekend seminars for training about boundaries and constructive 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 change his direction, please consider Gateway.

Although not located in Dumfries, Virginia, Gateway may be the type of environment your teen needs to make a change for the better. Please call or fill out our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
