Need HELP WITH A BOY THAT IS FAILING IN SCHOOL AND LIFE?  Though Not in Elkton, 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 include 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. Within the structure and order of a military academy, wayward teen boys soon become respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Elkton, 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 each of the 50 states and internationally have changed the course of their lives at Gateway Boys Academy. We  enroll young men from across the nation, including from Elkton, Virginia.

Our Compassionate Staff Teach Our Students a Better Way to Live

Gateway Boys Academy serves teenagers ages 11 to 17 who have gone off-track with life. Our campus is located in the panhandle of Florida, and our academy is accessible from Elkton, Virginia and cities around 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. A few of our staff have been in your situation, 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 our Christian Military School

Teens start in our basic training platoon beneath the supervision of drill instructors. For the first months, physical training, a packed schedule, attention to orderliness 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 gain confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive as an alternative to their previously destructive activities. In time, they promote to higher levels, obtaining privileges and responsibilities as they move up. The upper level military school cadet is eligible for off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through Top-Notch Curriculum and Skilled Teachers. 

Most teens who have been failing or falling behind not just get caught up but get far ahead. Gateway meets all established by the State of Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they graduate our academic program. School takes place year-round as students work at their own speed through top-notch 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 Spiritual Relationship, Direction, and Purpose In Life

Spiritual life forms a large part of life at Gateway Boys Academy. We offer to every cadet a relationship with Jesus and strive to establish a Godly atmosphere favorable to Christian growth. Students attend group Bible studies, go to chapel two times a week, and meet with a counselor for individually assigned Bible studies designed for character growth.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway Boys Academy, we give attention to family restoration. After four months, parents begin attending weekend seminars for training about boundaries and constructive parenting.

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

Although not located in Elkton, Virginia, Gateway could be the kind of environment your boy needs to create a positive change. Please call or fill out our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
