Need Help with Your Teenage Boy?  Though Not in Leesville, South Carolina, 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 like no 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 designed to bring about change in a boy’s heart and life. Under the structure and discipline of a military school, wayward teen boys soon turn into respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Leesville, South 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 all 50 states and internationally have changed the course of their lives at Gateway Boys Academy. We  accept teen boys from all around the nation, including from Leesville, South Carolina.

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

Gateway Boys Academy serves boys ages 11 to 17 who have gone off-track with life. Our military school is in the panhandle of Florida, and our campus is accessible from Leesville, South Carolina and cities across the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we focus on demonstrating the love of God to every cadet, surrounding him with compassionate care. A few of our staff have been in your shoes, either having attended a similar program themselves or having enrolled a child of their own in our military school in the past.

Boys are Transformed through Gateway Boys Academy

Teens start in our basic training platoon with the supervision of drill instructors. For the first months, physical exercise, a packed schedule, attention to neatness and chores provide them with 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 instead of their previously destructive activities. Over time, they promote to higher levels, gaining privileges and responsibilities as they move up. The highest level student is able to do off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through First-Rate Curriculum and Passionate Teachers. 

Most teens who were failing or falling behind not only get up to date but get far ahead. Gateway meets all qualifications by the State of Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they complete our academic program. Classes run all year long as students work at their own pace 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 life forms a large part of life at Gateway Boys Academy. We strive to introduce every cadet to a relationship with Christ and strive to create a Godly atmosphere encouraging to Christian growth. Young men attend group Bible studies, go to chapel services twice a week, and spend time with a counselor to discuss individually assigned Bible studies intended for character development.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway Boys Academy, we concentrate on family restoration. After four months of enrollment for the cadet, parents begin attending weekend conferences to learn about boundaries and effective parenting.

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