Need Help with a Wayward Son?  Though Not in Madison Heights, Virginia, Would You Take a Look At Gateway Christian Military School in Florida Instead?

Though not in Madison Heights, 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 all 50 states and internationally have put their lives back on track at Gateway Boys Academy. We  serve teen boys from around the country, including from Madison Heights, Virginia.

Our Compassionate Staff Teach Our Students a Better Way to Live

Gateway Boys Academy serves teenagers ages 11 to 17 who have chosen a dangerous path in life. Our military school is situated in the panhandle of Florida, and our campus is reachable from Madison Heights, Virginia and cities throughout the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we believe in demonstrating the love of God to each and every cadet, surrounding him with compassionate care. Several 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 our Christian Military School

Students start in our basic training platoon beneath the supervision of drill instructors. For the first few months, physical training, a packed schedule, attention to orderliness and chores give them 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 instead of their previously destructive activities. Eventually, they promote to higher levels, obtaining privileges and responsibilities along the way. The trusted students are permitted to participate in off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through First-Rate Curriculum and Passionate Teachers. 

Most students who had been failing or falling behind not just get up to date but get ahead. Gateway meets all established by Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they graduate our academic program. Our school operates year-round as students work at their own pace through first-rate 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 Spiritual Relationship, Direction, and Purpose In Life

Spiritual life forms a large part of life at Gateway Boys Academy. We offer to every cadet a relationship with Christ and strive to establish a Godly atmosphere helpful to Christian growth. Students attend group Bible studies, go to chapel services twice weekly, and meet with a counselor for individually assigned Bible studies meant to build character.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway Boys Academy, we concentrate on family restoration. After four months, parents begin attending weekend events for training about boundaries and effective parenting.

Most students in our program turn away from their self-destructive behavior to a lifetime of serving others. If your teenage boy needs order and discipline to change his direction, please consider Gateway.

Although it is not located in Madison Heights, Virginia, Gateway can be just the environment your boy needs to make a change for the better. We invite you to call or submit our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
