Need HELP WITH A BOY THAT IS FAILING IN SCHOOL AND LIFE?  Though Not in Hillsville, 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 have a military academy, an accredited school, as well as 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 designed to bring about change in a boy’s heart and life. With the structure and order of a military school, wayward teenage boys soon turn into respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Hillsville, Virginia, 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 each of the 50 states and internationally have found a change of heart at Gateway Boys Academy. We  enroll young men from across the nation, including from Hillsville, Virginia.

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

Gateway Boys Academy serves teenagers ages 11 to 17 who have made rebellious choices in life. Our military school is situated in the panhandle of Florida, and our school is reachable from Hillsville, Virginia and cities around the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we commit to demonstrating the love of God to each student, surrounding him with compassionate care. Many of our staff have been in your shoes, either having attended a similar program themselves or having enrolled a son of their own in our military school in the past.

Boys are Transformed through Gateway Boys Academy

Boys start in our basic training platoon beneath the supervision of drill instructors. For the initial months, physical exercise, a packed schedule, attention to orderliness and chores give them structure and establish order in their lives.

At Gateway, boys realize they can stop struggling against authority and begin to grow in confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive as an alternative to their previously destructive activities. Over time, they promote to higher levels, earning privileges and responsibilities in the process. The upper level military school cadet is permitted to participate in off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through High-Quality Curriculum and Certified Teachers. 

Most boys who have been failing or falling behind not only get up to date but pull ahead. We meet all established by Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they complete our academic program. School takes place all year-round as students study at their own speed through first-rate 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

We emphasize spiritual life at Gateway Boys Academy. We offer to every cadet a relationship with Christ and strive to maintain a Godly atmosphere conducive to Christian growth. Students attend group Bible studies, go to chapel services two times a week, and spend time with a counselor for individually assigned Bible studies intended 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 events for training about boundaries and positive parenting.

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

Although it is not located in Hillsville, Virginia, Gateway may be the type of environment your teen needs to generate a change for the better. Please call or fill out our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
