Our Understanding, Staff Teach Our Students a Better Way to Live

Gateway Boys Academy serves young men ages 11 to 17 who have gone off-track with life. Our military school is situated in the panhandle of Florida, and our facility is reachable from New Martinsville, West Virginia and cities around the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we believe in demonstrating the love of God to every cadet, surrounding him with compassionate care. A few of our staff have been in your situation, 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 Our Military School

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

At Gateway, boys realize they can stop struggling against authority and begin to gain confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive as an alternative to their previously destructive activities. In time, they promote to higher levels, acquiring privileges and responsibilities in the process. The senior level military school cadet is allowed to do off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through First-Rate Curriculum and Certified Teachers. 

Most teens who have been failing or falling behind not just catch up but get far ahead. Gateway meets all requirements by the State of Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they graduate our academic program. School takes place year-round as students study at their own pace through first-rate 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

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

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway Boys Academy, we give attention to family restoration. After four months, 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 an attitude of serving others. If your son needs order and discipline to change his direction, please consider Gateway.
