Gateway Boys Academy is a lower cost military school in West Florida unlike any other.

All of these are meant to bring about change in a boy’s heart and life. With the structure and discipline of a military academy, wayward teenage boys soon turn into respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Hanahan, 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 every state and internationally have found a change of heart at Gateway Boys Academy. We  enroll boys from across the nation, including from Hanahan, South Carolina.

Our Friendly Staff Teach Our Students a Better Way to Live

Gateway Boys Academy serves teenagers ages 11 to 17 who have chosen a dangerous path in life. Our campus is located in the panhandle of Florida, and our campus is accessible from Hanahan, South Carolina and cities around 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 teen of their own in our military school in the past.

Boys are Transformed through Our Military School

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

At Gateway, boys figure out how to stop struggling against authority and begin to grow in confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive as an alternative to their previously destructive activities. Eventually, they promote to higher levels, earning privileges and responsibilities in the process. The trusted students are able to do off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through High-Quality Curriculum and Passionate Teachers. 

Most boys who were failing or falling behind not only catch up but pull ahead. We meet all standards [set by Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas at the completion of our academic program. School takes place year-round as students study at their own speed through high-quality 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

We emphasize spiritual life at Gateway Boys Academy. We strive to introduce every cadet to a relationship with Jesus and strive to create a Godly atmosphere encouraging to Christian growth. Boys attend group Bible studies, go to chapel services two times a week, and meet with a counselor to pursue individually assigned Bible studies intended for character growth.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway, we focus 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 teenager needs order and discipline to put his life in order, please consider Gateway.

Although not located in Hanahan, South Carolina, Gateway may be the sort of environment your son needs to create a change for the better. Please call or submit our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
