Need HELP WITH A BOY THAT IS FAILING IN SCHOOL AND LIFE?  Though Not in Falling Waters, West Virginia, 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 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 meant to bring about change in a boy’s heart and life. Under the structure and discipline of a military academy, wayward teen boys soon turn into respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Falling Waters, West Virginia, 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 each of the 50 states and internationally have changed the course of their lives at Gateway Boys Academy. We  enroll teen boys from across the nation, including from Falling Waters, West Virginia.

Our Compassionate Staff Teach Our Students a Better Way to Live

Gateway Boys Academy serves boys ages 11 to 17 who have gone off-track with life. Our military school is in the panhandle of Florida, and our school is accessible from Falling Waters, West Virginia and cities around 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 been through 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

Boys begin at the lowest rung of our level system. For the first months, physical exercise, a packed schedule, attention to orderliness and chores give them structure and establish order in their lives.

At Gateway, boys begin to stop struggling against authority and begin to grow in confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive rather than their previously destructive activities. Over time, they promote to higher levels, earning privileges and responsibilities along the way. The highest level student is able to do off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through First-Rate Curriculum and Certified Teachers. 

Most students who have been failing or falling behind not just catch up but get ahead. Gateway meets all requirements by Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they graduate our academic program. Our academy operates all year long as students work at their own pace through first-rate 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

We emphasize spiritual life at Gateway Boys Academy. We offer to every cadet a relationship with Jesus and strive to create a Godly atmosphere favorable to Christian growth. Young men attend group Bible studies, go to chapel services twice weekly, 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 for teaching on boundaries and effective parenting.

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

Although it is not located in Falling Waters, West Virginia, Gateway may be the sort of environment your boy needs to make a positive change. Please call or submit our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
