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

Gateway Boys Academy serves boys ages 11 to 17 who have chosen a dangerous path in life. Our military school is situated in the panhandle of Florida, and our facility is reachable from Lucama, North Carolina and cities throughout the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we believe in demonstrating the love of God to every single cadet, surrounding him with compassionate care. A number of our staff have been in your situation, either having completed 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

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

At Gateway, boys figure out how to stop struggling against authority and begin to gain confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive rather than their previously destructive activities. In time, they promote to higher levels, earning privileges and responsibilities in the process. The highest level student is allowed to do off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through First-Rate Curriculum and Skilled Teachers. 

Most boys who have been failing or falling behind not only get up to date but get ahead. We meet all established by 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 speed 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 Spiritual Relationship, 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 establish a Godly atmosphere favorable to Christian growth. Boys attend group Bible studies, go to chapel services two times a week, and meet with a counselor to pursue individually assigned Bible studies meant for character development.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway Boys Academy, we promote family restoration. After four months of enrollment for the cadet, parents begin attending weekend seminars 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 teenage boy needs order and discipline to put his life in order, please consider Gateway.

Although it is not located in Lucama, North Carolina, Gateway could be the kind of environment your boy needs to produce a positive change. Please call or fill out our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
