Need Help with a Wayward Son?  Though Not in Kenly, North Carolina, Would You Consider Gateway Christian Military School in Florida Instead?

Gateway Boys Academy is a lower cost military school in West Florida like no other. We include 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.

Though not in Kenly, North Carolina, 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 all 50 states and internationally have turned their lives around at Gateway Boys Academy. We  accept young men from across the nation, including from Kenly, North Carolina.

Our Friendly Staff Teach Our Boarding School 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 situated in the panhandle of Florida, and our academy is reachable from Kenly, North Carolina and cities around the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we focus on demonstrating the love of God to each student, surrounding him with compassionate care. Many of our staff have been in your situation, 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

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

At Gateway, boys begin to stop struggling against authority and begin to get 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 along the way. The trusted students are eligible for off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through Top-Notch Curriculum and Skilled Teachers. 

Most boys who were failing or falling behind not only catch up but pull ahead. We meet all qualifications by Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas at the completion of our academic program. Our school operates year-round as students study at their own speed through top-notch curriculum and certified teachers. Our high standards allow students to transfer back to public institutions or to go on to college or the military.

Boys Discover a New Relationship with God, Direction and Purpose In Life

Spiritual things are important at Gateway Boys Academy. We strive to introduce every cadet to a relationship with Jesus and strive to create a Godly atmosphere helpful to Christian growth. Students attend group Bible studies, go to chapel twice a week, and work with a counselor to complete individually assigned Bible studies designed 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 events to learn about boundaries and effective parenting.

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

Although it is not located in Kenly, North Carolina, Gateway may be just the environment your teen needs to make a change for the better. We invite you to call or fill out our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
