Need Help with a Wayward Son?  Though Not in Maxton, North Carolina, Would You Take a Look At Gateway Christian Military School in Florida Instead?

Gateway Boys Academy is a lower cost military school in West Florida like no other. We include 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 meant to bring about change in a boy’s heart and life. Under the structure and discipline of a military academy, wayward teenage boys soon become respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Maxton, North 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 each of the 50 states and internationally have turned their lives around at Gateway Boys Academy. We  serve young men from across the country, including from Maxton, North Carolina.

Our Compassionate Staff Teach Our Boarding School 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 school is accessible from Maxton, North Carolina and cities across 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 few of our staff have been in your situation, either having attended a similar program themselves or having enrolled a teen of their own in our military school in the past.

Boys are Transformed through Our Military School

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

At Gateway, boys figure out how to stop struggling against authority and start to increase in confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive rather than their previously destructive activities. Eventually, they promote to higher levels, earning privileges and responsibilities as they move up. The highest level student is permitted to participate in off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through Top-Notch Curriculum and Skilled Teachers. 

Most students who were failing or falling behind not only catch up but get ahead. We meet all requirements by Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas at the completion of our academic program. School takes place year-round as students study at their own speed through top-notch 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 Jesus and strive to establish a Godly atmosphere encouraging to Christian growth. Boys attend group Bible studies, go to chapel services two times a week, and spend time with a counselor to pursue individually assigned Bible studies meant to build character.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway Boys Academy, we promote family restoration. Four months after the cadet enrolls, parents begin attending weekend seminars for teaching on boundaries and positive parenting.

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

Although it is not located in Maxton, North Carolina, Gateway may be the sort of environment your son needs to make a positive change. We invite you to call or submit our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
