Need Help with a Wayward Son?  Though Not in Elon, 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. When given the structure and discipline of a military academy, wayward teen boys soon turn into respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Elon, North Carolina, 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 all 50 states and internationally have put their lives back on track at Gateway Boys Academy. We  serve young men from all around the nation, including from Elon, North Carolina.

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

Gateway Boys Academy serves teenage boys ages 11 to 17 who have chosen a dangerous path in life. Our military school is in the panhandle of Florida, and our academy is accessible from Elon, North Carolina and cities throughout the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we believe in demonstrating the love of God to every single cadet, surrounding him with compassionate care. A few of our staff have been in your place, either having completed 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

Students start 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 begin to stop struggling against authority and start to gain confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive as opposed to their previously destructive activities. Over time, they promote to higher levels, gaining privileges and responsibilities in the process. The upper level military school cadet is eligible for off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through First-Rate Curriculum and Passionate Teachers. 

Most students who had been failing or falling behind not only get caught up but get far ahead. We meet all qualifications by 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 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 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 maintain a Godly atmosphere favorable to Christian growth. Students attend group Bible studies, go to chapel twice weekly, and meet with a counselor to pursue individually assigned Bible studies intended for character growth.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway Boys Academy, we promote family restoration. Four months after the cadet enrolls, parents begin attending weekend seminars for teaching on boundaries and effective parenting.

Most students in our program turn from their self-destructive behavior to an attitude of serving others. If your teenage boy needs order and discipline to turn his life around, please consider Gateway.

Although not located in Elon, North Carolina, Gateway can be the sort of environment your boy needs to create a change for the better. We invite you to call or submit our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
