Need Help with Your Teenage Boy?  Though Not in Mauldin, South Carolina, 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, and 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 order of a military school, wayward teenage boys soon turn into respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Mauldin, South Carolina, 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 each of the 50 states and internationally have turned their lives around at Gateway Boys Academy. We  serve teen boys from all around the nation, including from Mauldin, South Carolina.

Our Compassionate 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 campus is located in the panhandle of Florida, and our school is accessible from Mauldin, South Carolina and cities across the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we focus on demonstrating the love of God to every single cadet, surrounding him with compassionate care. A number of our staff have been in your place, 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 Gateway Boys Academy

Boys begin in our basic training platoon under the supervision of drill instructors. For the initial few months, physical training, a packed schedule, attention to neatness and chores provide them with structure and establish order in their lives.

At Gateway, boys figure out how to stop struggling against authority and begin to get confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive instead of their previously destructive activities. Over time, they promote to higher levels, acquiring privileges and responsibilities along the way. The upper level military school cadet is allowed to do off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through First-Rate Curriculum and Skilled Teachers. 

Most boys who had been failing or falling behind not just get caught up but get far ahead. We meet all requirements by Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they graduate our academic program. Classes run all year long as students work 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 helpful to Christian growth. Young men attend group Bible studies, go to chapel services twice each week, and meet with a counselor to discuss individually assigned Bible studies meant for character development.

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 constructive 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 Mauldin, South Carolina, Gateway could be just the environment your boy needs to produce a change for the better. Please call or fill out our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
