Need HELP WITH A BOY THAT IS FAILING IN SCHOOL AND LIFE?  Though Not in Fountain Inn, South 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 order of a military school, wayward teen boys soon become respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Fountain Inn, South 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 turned their lives around at Gateway Boys Academy. We  accept teen boys from around the country, including from Fountain Inn, South Carolina.

Our Friendly Staff Teach Our Boarding School Students a Better Way to Live

Gateway Boys Academy serves teenagers ages 11 to 17 who have gone off-track with life. Our military school is in the panhandle of Florida, and our academy is reachable from Fountain Inn, South Carolina and cities throughout the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we believe in demonstrating the love of God to each and every 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 start in our basic training platoon beneath the supervision of drill instructors. For the initial months, physical training, a packed schedule, attention to cleanliness and chores give them structure and establish order in their lives.

At Gateway, boys realize they can stop struggling against authority and start to increase in confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive instead of their previously destructive activities. Eventually, they promote to higher levels, acquiring 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 High-Quality Curriculum and Skilled Teachers. 

Most teens who were failing or falling behind not only catch up but pull ahead. Gateway meets all established by the State of Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they graduate our academic program. Our school operates year-round as students work at their own pace through first-rate 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 strive to introduce every cadet to a relationship with Christ and strive to establish a Godly atmosphere encouraging to Christian growth. Young men attend group Bible studies, go to chapel services two times a week, and meet with a counselor to discuss individually assigned Bible studies designed for character growth.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway Boys Academy, we concentrate on family restoration. Four months after the cadet enrolls, parents begin attending weekend events to learn about 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 change his direction, please consider Gateway.

Although it is not located in Fountain Inn, South Carolina, Gateway could be the kind of environment your teen needs to create a change for the better. Please call or submit our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
