Need Help with Your Teenage Boy?  Though Not in Gilbert, South Carolina, 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 like no other. We have 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 designed to bring about change in a boy’s heart and life. Under the structure and discipline of a military school, wayward teen boys soon turn into respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Gilbert, South 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 each of the 50 states and internationally have put their lives back on track at Gateway Boys Academy. We  enroll teen boys from across the country, including from Gilbert, South Carolina.

Our Understanding, Staff Teach Our Boarding School 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 facility is reachable from Gilbert, South Carolina and cities across the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we focus on demonstrating the love of God to every cadet, surrounding him with compassionate care. A few of our staff have been in your shoes, 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

Students start in our basic training platoon beneath the supervision of drill instructors. For the initial few months, physical training, a packed schedule, attention to neatness and chores give them structure and establish order in their lives.

At Gateway, boys begin to stop struggling against authority and begin to gain confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive instead of 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 Top-Notch Curriculum and Skilled Teachers. 

Most boys who have been failing or falling behind not only get caught up but get ahead. Gateway meets all requirements by the State of Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they complete our academic program. Our academy operates year-round as students study at their own pace through first-rate curriculum and certified teachers. Our high standards allow transfers 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 things are important at Gateway Boys Academy. We strive to introduce every cadet to a relationship with Jesus and strive to maintain a Godly atmosphere encouraging to Christian growth. Boys attend group Bible studies, go to chapel services twice each week, and work 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. Four months after the cadet enrolls, parents begin attending weekend conferences for training about boundaries and effective parenting.

Most boys in our program turn away from their self-destructive behavior to a desire for serving others. If your son needs order and discipline to turn his life around, please consider Gateway.

Although it is not located in Gilbert, South Carolina, Gateway can be just the environment your boy needs to create a change for the better. Please call or fill in our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
