Need Help with a Wayward Son?  Though Not in Lugoff, 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 unlike any other. We have a military academy, 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 designed to bring about change in a boy’s heart and life. When given the structure and discipline of a military academy, wayward teenage boys soon become respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Lugoff, 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  enroll boys from all around the nation, including from Lugoff, South Carolina.

Our Understanding, Staff Teach Our 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 military school is in the panhandle of Florida, and our campus is reachable from Lugoff, South Carolina and cities around the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we commit to demonstrating the love of God to each and every cadet, surrounding him with compassionate care. A few of our staff have been in your shoes, either having been through a similar program themselves or having enrolled a son of their own in our military school in the past.

Boys are Transformed through our Christian 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 neatness and chores provide them with 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 instead of their previously destructive activities. Eventually, they promote to higher levels, earning 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 Passionate Teachers. 

Most students who had been failing or falling behind not only get up to date but get ahead. Gateway meets all qualifications by Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they complete 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 things are important at Gateway Boys Academy. We offer to every cadet a relationship with Jesus and strive to create a Godly atmosphere helpful to Christian growth. Young men attend group Bible studies, go to chapel services twice weekly, and work with a counselor for individually assigned Bible studies intended for character growth.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway Boys Academy, we give attention to family restoration. Four months after the cadet enrolls, parents begin attending weekend seminars to learn about boundaries and positive parenting.

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

Although not located in Lugoff, South Carolina, Gateway can be just the environment your son needs to make a positive change. Please call or submit our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
