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

Gateway Boys Academy serves teenage boys ages 11 to 17 who have made rebellious choices in life. Our military school is in the panhandle of Florida, and our academy is accessible from Manteo, North Carolina and cities across the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we focus on demonstrating the love of God to each and every cadet, surrounding him with compassionate care. A number of our staff have been in your shoes, either having been through a similar program themselves or having enrolled a teen of their own in our military school in the past.

Boys are Transformed through Gateway Boys Academy

Boys begin in our basic training platoon under the supervision of drill instructors. For the initial 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 gain confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive rather than their previously destructive activities. Over time, they promote to higher levels, gaining privileges and responsibilities along the way. The highest level student is permitted to participate in off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through High-Quality Curriculum and Skilled Teachers. 

Most boys who had been failing or falling behind not just catch up but pull ahead. We meet all standards [set by the State of Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they graduate our academic program. School takes place all year-round as students work at their own speed through first-rate 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 things are important at Gateway Boys Academy. We offer to every cadet a relationship with Jesus Christ and strive to establish a Godly atmosphere helpful to Christian growth. Boys attend group Bible studies, go to chapel services twice each week, and work with a counselor to discuss individually assigned Bible studies meant for character development.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway, we focus on family restoration. After four months of enrollment for the cadet, parents begin attending weekend seminars for teaching on boundaries and constructive parenting.

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