Our Compassionate Staff Teach Our Boarding School Students a Better Way to Live

Gateway Boys Academy serves teenage boys ages 11 to 17 who have chosen a dangerous path in life. Our campus is located in the panhandle of Florida, and our academy is accessible from Heathsville, Virginia and cities throughout 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. Several of our staff have been in your place, either having completed a similar program themselves or having enrolled a son of their own in our military school in the past.

Boys are Transformed through Our Military School

Students start in our basic training platoon beneath the supervision of drill instructors. For the initial months, physical exercise, 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 start to increase in confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive as an alternative to their previously destructive activities. In time, they promote to higher levels, acquiring privileges and responsibilities along the way. The highest level student is eligible for off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through First-Rate Curriculum and Passionate Teachers. 

Most students who have been failing or falling behind not just get caught up but pull ahead. Gateway meets all established by Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they complete our academic program. Our academy operates year-round as students work at their own pace 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 offer to every cadet a relationship with Christ and strive to establish a Godly atmosphere favorable to Christian growth. Boys 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 development.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

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

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

Although not located in Heathsville, Virginia, Gateway could be the sort of environment your son needs to create a change for the better. Please call or fill out our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
