Though not in Moorefield, West Virginia, You Can Set the Stage for a New Start and a New Direction for Your Boy by Having Him Come to Gateway

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

Gateway Boys Academy serves teenage boys ages 11 to 17 who have gone off-track with life. Our campus is located in the panhandle of Florida, and our facility is accessible from Moorefield, West Virginia and cities throughout 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. Several of our staff have been in your place, either having been through a similar program themselves or having enrolled a child of their own in our military school in the past.

Boys are Transformed through Gateway Boys Academy

Boys start in our basic training platoon with the supervision of drill instructors. For the first months, physical exercise, 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 grow in confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive instead of their previously destructive activities. In time, they promote to higher levels, gaining privileges and responsibilities as they move up. The highest level student is able to do off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through First-Rate Curriculum and Passionate Teachers. 

Most teens who were failing or falling behind not only catch up but get far ahead. We meet all requirements by the State of Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas at the completion of our academic program. Classes run year-round as students study at their own pace 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 offer to every cadet a relationship with Jesus Christ and strive to create a Godly atmosphere favorable to Christian growth. Young men attend group Bible studies, go to chapel services two times a week, and work with a counselor to pursue individually assigned Bible studies meant for character development.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway Boys Academy, we promote family restoration. After four months, parents begin attending weekend conferences for training about boundaries and positive parenting.

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

Although it is not located in Moorefield, West Virginia, Gateway may be just the environment your teen needs to produce a change for the better. Please call or complete our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
