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

Gateway Boys Academy is a lower cost military school in West Florida like no 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 discipline of a military school, wayward teenage boys soon become respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

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

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 campus is located in the panhandle of Florida, and our facility is reachable from Milton, West Virginia and cities across the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we believe in demonstrating the love of God to each student, 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

Teens begin at the lowest rung of our level system. For the initial months, physical exercise, a packed schedule, attention to cleanliness 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 grow in confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive as an alternative to their previously destructive activities. In time, they promote to higher levels, gaining privileges and responsibilities in the process. The trusted students are eligible for off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through High-Quality Curriculum and Skilled Teachers. 

Most students who had been failing or falling behind not just get caught up but get ahead. We meet all requirements by the State of Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they complete our academic program. Classes run all year-round as students work 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 Relationship with God, Direction and Purpose In Life

We emphasize spiritual life at Gateway Boys Academy. We strive to introduce every cadet to a relationship with Jesus and strive to create a Godly atmosphere encouraging to Christian growth. Boys attend group Bible studies, go to chapel services twice weekly, and work with a counselor to pursue individually assigned Bible studies intended for character growth.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway Boys Academy, we concentrate on family restoration. After four months of enrollment for the cadet, parents begin attending weekend seminars for training about boundaries and positive parenting.

Most boys in our program turn away from their self-destructive behavior to a desire for serving others. If your teenager needs order and discipline to turn his life around, please consider Gateway.

Although it is not located in Milton, West Virginia, Gateway could be the sort of environment your teen needs to create a change for the better. We invite you to call or fill out our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
