Though not in Hardy, Virginia, You Can Set the Stage for a New Start and a New Direction for Your Boy by Having Him Spend Time Here

Our Understanding, Staff Teach Our Students a Better Way to Live

Gateway Boys Academy serves teenage boys ages 11 to 17 who have gone off-track with life. Our military school is situated in the panhandle of Florida, and our facility is reachable from Hardy, 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 attended a similar program themselves or having enrolled a child of their own in our military school in the past.

Boys are Transformed through Gateway Boys Academy

Students begin in our basic training platoon under the supervision of drill instructors. For the first months, physical exercise, a packed schedule, attention to cleanliness 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 gain confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive as opposed to their previously destructive activities. In time, they promote to higher levels, earning privileges and responsibilities in the process. The highest level student is eligible for off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through First-Rate Curriculum and Certified Teachers. 

Most teens who were failing or falling behind not only catch up but get far ahead. We meet all requirements by the State of Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas at the completion of our academic program. Classes run year-round as students work at their own pace through top-notch 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 offer to every cadet a relationship with Jesus Christ and strive to maintain a Godly atmosphere helpful to Christian growth. Young men attend group Bible studies, go to chapel services twice a week, and meet with a counselor to discuss individually assigned Bible studies intended for character growth.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway Boys Academy, we give attention to family restoration. After four months, parents begin attending weekend events for training about boundaries and constructive parenting.

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

Although it is not located in Hardy, Virginia, Gateway can be the kind of environment your teen needs to generate a change for the better. We invite you to call or submit our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
