Need HELP WITH A BOY THAT IS FAILING IN SCHOOL AND LIFE?  Though Not in Elm City, North Carolina, Would You Consider Gateway Christian Military School in Florida Instead?

Gateway Boys Academy is a lower cost military school in West Florida like no other. We are a military academy, an accredited school, as well as 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. With the structure and discipline of a military academy, wayward teen boys soon turn into respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Elm City, North Carolina, 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 every state and internationally have changed the course of their lives at Gateway Boys Academy. We  serve boys from across the nation, including from Elm City, North Carolina.

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

Gateway Boys Academy serves young men ages 11 to 17 who have gone off-track with life. Our military school is in the panhandle of Florida, and our facility is reachable from Elm City, 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. A few of our staff have been in your situation, either having been through a similar program themselves or having enrolled a teen of their own in our military school in the past.

Boys are Transformed through Gateway Boys Academy

Boys begin in our basic training platoon under 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 increase in confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive rather than their previously destructive activities. Eventually, they promote to higher levels, gaining privileges and responsibilities as they move up. The trusted students are allowed to do off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through First-Rate Curriculum and Skilled Teachers. 

Most teens who were failing or falling behind not only catch up but pull ahead. We meet all qualifications by Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas at the completion of our academic program. Our academy operates year-round as students study 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 Relationship with God, 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 establish a Godly atmosphere encouraging to Christian growth. Boys attend group Bible studies, go to chapel services two times a week, and meet with a counselor to discuss individually assigned Bible studies intended for character development.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

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

Most students 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 not located in Elm City, North Carolina, Gateway may be just the environment your son needs to make a positive change. We invite you to call or submit our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
