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 Hamptonville, North Carolina and cities across the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we commit to demonstrating the love of God to every cadet, surrounding him with compassionate care. Many of our staff have been in your place, 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

Boys begin in our basic training platoon with the supervision of drill instructors. For the initial few months, physical training, a packed schedule, attention to orderliness and chores provide them with structure and establish order in their lives.

At Gateway, boys figure out how to stop struggling against authority and begin to get confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive as an alternative to their previously destructive activities. Eventually, they promote to higher levels, acquiring privileges and responsibilities along the way. The senior level military school cadet 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. We meet all standards [set by Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they graduate our academic program. School takes place all year long as students work at their own pace 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 Relationship with God, Direction and Purpose In Life

Spiritual things are important at Gateway Boys Academy. We offer to every cadet a relationship with Jesus and strive to keep a Godly atmosphere helpful to Christian growth. Young men attend group Bible studies, go to chapel two times a week, and meet with a counselor to pursue individually assigned Bible studies meant for character growth.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

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

Most students in our program turn from their self-destructive behavior to a life of serving others. If your son needs order and discipline to change his direction, please consider Gateway.
