Need Help with Your Teenage Boy?  Though Not in Marion, Virginia, Would You Consider Gateway Christian Military School in Florida Instead?

Gateway Boys Academy is a lower cost military school in West Florida unlike any other. We are 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. With the structure and order of a military academy, wayward teenage boys soon become respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Marion, Virginia, You Can Set the Stage for a New Start and a New Direction for Your Boy by Having Him Spend Time Here

Over 1000 boys from every state and internationally have changed the course of their lives at Gateway Boys Academy. We  serve young men from across the nation, including from Marion, Virginia.

Our Compassionate Staff Teach Our Boarding School Students a Better Way to Live

Gateway Boys Academy serves teenagers ages 11 to 17 who have gone off-track with life. Our military school is in the panhandle of Florida, and our academy is accessible from Marion, Virginia and cities around 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. A number of our staff have been in your situation, either having attended 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 at the bottom rung of our level system. For the first months, physical exercise, a packed schedule, attention to orderliness and chores provide them with structure and establish order in their lives.

At Gateway, boys learn to stop struggling against authority and start to grow in confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive rather than their previously destructive activities. Eventually, they promote to higher levels, acquiring privileges and responsibilities as they move up. The senior level military school cadet is able to do off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through Top-Notch Curriculum and Skilled Teachers. 

Most boys who have been failing or falling behind not only catch up but pull ahead. We meet all established 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 study at their own pace 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 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 conducive to Christian growth. Boys attend group Bible studies, go to chapel services twice a week, and spend time with a counselor to pursue individually assigned Bible studies designed for character development.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway, we focus on family restoration. After four months, parents begin attending weekend seminars to learn about boundaries and positive parenting.

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

Although it is not located in Marion, Virginia, Gateway could be the kind of environment your boy needs to generate a change for the better. We invite you to call or complete our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
