Need Help with a Wayward Son?  Though Not in Holly Ridge, North Carolina, Would You Consider 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, 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. Within the structure and order of a military academy, wayward teen boys soon become respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Holly Ridge, North Carolina, 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 every state and internationally have put their lives back on track at Gateway Boys Academy. We  serve teen boys from across the nation, including from Holly Ridge, North Carolina.

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

Gateway Boys Academy serves young men ages 11 to 17 who have chosen a dangerous path in life. Our military school is in the panhandle of Florida, and our school is reachable from Holly Ridge, North Carolina and cities throughout the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we believe in demonstrating the love of God to each student, 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 Gateway Boys Academy

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

At Gateway, boys learn to stop struggling against authority and begin to increase in confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive as opposed to their previously destructive activities. Eventually, they promote to higher levels, earning privileges and responsibilities along the way. The senior level military school cadet is able to do off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through Top-Notch Curriculum and Certified Teachers. 

Most students who were failing or falling behind not just catch up but pull ahead. Gateway meets all established by Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they graduate our academic program. Our academy operates all year round as students study at their own speed through first-rate 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 Relationship with God, Direction and Purpose In Life

We emphasize spiritual life at Gateway Boys Academy. We strive to introduce every cadet to a relationship with Jesus Christ and strive to keep a Godly atmosphere helpful to Christian growth. Students attend group Bible studies, go to chapel services twice weekly, and meet with a counselor for individually assigned Bible studies meant 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 seminars to learn about boundaries and effective parenting.

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

Although not located in Holly Ridge, North Carolina, Gateway can be just the environment your teen needs to produce a change for the better. Please call or fill out our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
