Need Help with Your Teenage Boy?  Though Not in Mineral Wells, 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 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 order of a military academy, wayward teenage boys soon become respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Mineral Wells, 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 Friendly Staff Teach Our Boarding School Students a Better Way to Live

Gateway Boys Academy serves young men ages 11 to 17 who have made rebellious choices in life. Our campus is located in the panhandle of Florida, and our school is accessible from Mineral Wells, 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 and every cadet, surrounding him with compassionate care. Many of our staff have been in your place, 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

Students begin at the bottom rung of our level system. For the first months, physical exercise, a packed schedule, attention to cleanliness and chores give them structure and establish order in their lives.

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

Academic Success through High-Quality Curriculum and Certified Teachers. 

Most teens who have been failing or falling behind not only get up to date but pull ahead. Gateway meets all established by the State of Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas at the completion of our academic program. Our school operates year-round as students study at their own speed 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 Spiritual Relationship, Direction, and Purpose In Life

Spiritual things are important at Gateway Boys Academy. We offer to every cadet a relationship with Christ and strive to keep a Godly atmosphere conducive to Christian growth. Young men attend group Bible studies, go to chapel twice weekly, and work with a counselor to discuss 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, parents begin attending weekend events for teaching on boundaries and constructive parenting.

Most students in our program turn away from their self-destructive behavior to an attitude of serving others. If your teenager needs order and discipline to change his direction, please consider Gateway.

Although not located in Mineral Wells, West Virginia, Gateway can be the kind of environment your boy needs to create a positive change. Please call or submit our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
