Need HELP WITH A BOY THAT IS FAILING IN SCHOOL AND LIFE?  Though Not in Keyser, West Virginia, Would You Take a Look At Gateway Christian Military School in Florida Instead?

Gateway Boys Academy is a lower cost military school in West Florida unlike any other. We include 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 meant to bring about change in a boy’s heart and life. Within the structure and order of a military academy, wayward teenage boys soon turn into respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Keyser, West Virginia, 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 each of the 50 states and internationally have changed the course of their lives at Gateway Boys Academy. We  accept boys from around the country, including from Keyser, West Virginia.

Our Friendly 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 facility is reachable from Keyser, West Virginia and cities across the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we commit to demonstrating the love of God to every cadet, surrounding him with compassionate care. A few of our staff have been in your place, 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 Our Military School

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

At Gateway, boys begin to stop struggling against authority and start to get confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive instead of their previously destructive activities. Over time, they promote to higher levels, earning privileges and responsibilities as they move up. The highest level student is able to do off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through High-Quality Curriculum and Passionate Teachers. 

Most teens who have been failing or falling behind not just catch up but get far ahead. We meet all requirements by the State of Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas at the completion of our academic program. Our academy operates all year long as students work at their own speed 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 Relationship with God, Direction and Purpose In Life

Spiritual life forms a large part of life at Gateway Boys Academy. We strive to introduce every cadet to a relationship with Jesus Christ and strive to keep a Godly atmosphere encouraging to Christian growth. Students attend group Bible studies, go to chapel twice a week, and spend time with a counselor to complete individually assigned Bible studies meant for character development.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway Boys Academy, we promote family restoration. Four months after the cadet enrolls, parents begin attending weekend seminars for training about boundaries and constructive parenting.

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

Although not located in Keyser, West Virginia, Gateway could be just the environment your boy needs to create a positive change. We invite you to call or fill in our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
