Need Help with a Wayward Son?  Though Not in Hayes, Virginia, Would You Give Some Consideration to Gateway Christian Military School in Florida Instead?

Gateway Boys Academy is a lower cost military school in West Florida unlike any other. We are a military academy, an accredited school, and 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. Similar to the structure and order of a military school, at Gateway wayward teen boys soon turn into respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Hayes, Virginia, 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 changed the course of their lives at Gateway Boys Academy. We  accept teen boys from across the nation, including from Hayes, Virginia.

Our Compassionate Staff Teach Our Students a Better Way to Live

Gateway Boys Academy serves teenage boys ages 11 to 17 who have made rebellious choices in life. Our military school is in the panhandle of Florida, and our facility is accessible from Hayes, Virginia and cities across the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we focus on demonstrating the love of God to every single cadet, surrounding him with compassionate care. Several of our staff have been in your place, either having completed 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

For the first months, physical exercise, a packed schedule, attention to orderliness and chores surround them with structure and establish order in their lives.

At Gateway, boys realize they can stop struggling against authority and start to grow in confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive as opposed to their previously destructive activities. In time, they promote to higher levels, acquiring 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 Certified Teachers. 

Most teens who had been failing or falling behind not just get up to date but pull ahead. We meet all standards [set by the State of Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they complete our academic program. Our school operates year-round as students study at their own speed through high-quality 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 Spiritual Relationship, Direction, and Purpose In Life

Spiritual life forms a large part of life at Gateway Boys Academy. We offer to every cadet a relationship with Jesus and strive to create a Godly atmosphere helpful to Christian growth. Boys attend group Bible studies, go to chapel twice weekly, and meet with a counselor to discuss individually assigned Bible studies meant for character growth.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway, we focus on family restoration. After four months of enrollment for the cadet, parents begin attending weekend events for teaching on boundaries and positive parenting.

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

Although not located in Hayes, Virginia, Gateway may be the type of environment your boy needs to create a change for the better. We invite you to call or complete our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
