Our Compassionate Staff Teach Our Students a Better Way to Live

Gateway Boys Academy serves young men ages 11 to 17 who have made rebellious choices in life. Our military school is situated in the panhandle of Florida, and our campus is accessible from Iron Station, North Carolina 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. A few of our staff have been in your situation, either having been through a similar program themselves or having enrolled a child of their own in our military school in the past.

Boys are Transformed through Our Military School

Boys begin at the lowest rung of our level system. For the first months, physical exercise, a packed schedule, attention to neatness and chores give them structure and establish order in their lives.

At Gateway, boys figure out how to stop struggling against authority and start to gain confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive as an alternative to their previously destructive activities. Over time, they promote to higher levels, obtaining privileges and responsibilities as they move up. The senior level military school cadet is able to do off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through First-Rate Curriculum and Certified Teachers. 

Most boys who were failing or falling behind not just catch up but get ahead. We meet all standards [set by the State of Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas at the completion of our academic program. Our academy operates year-round as students work at their own pace through top-notch 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 offer to every cadet a relationship with Jesus Christ and strive to create a Godly atmosphere encouraging to Christian growth. Boys attend group Bible studies, go to chapel twice each week, and spend time with a counselor to discuss individually assigned Bible studies intended for character growth.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway Boys Academy, we concentrate on family restoration. Four months after the cadet enrolls, parents begin attending weekend conferences to learn about boundaries and effective parenting.

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

Although it is not located in Iron Station, North Carolina, Gateway may be the type of environment your son needs to generate a positive change. We invite you to call or complete our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
