Need Help with a Wayward Son?  Though Not in Norton, Virginia, 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 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 order of a military academy, wayward teen boys soon become respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

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

Over 1000 boys from every state and internationally have turned their lives around at Gateway Boys Academy. We  serve teen boys from around the country, including from Norton, Virginia.

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

Gateway Boys Academy serves teenagers ages 11 to 17 who have made rebellious choices in life. Our campus is located in the panhandle of Florida, and our campus is accessible from Norton, Virginia and cities across the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we focus on demonstrating the love of God to every cadet, surrounding him with compassionate care. Several of our staff have been in your shoes, either having completed a similar program themselves or having enrolled a child of their own in our military school in the past.

Boys are Transformed through Our Military School

Teens start in our basic training platoon with the supervision of drill instructors. For the initial 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 begin to grow in confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive as an alternative to their previously destructive activities. Eventually, they promote to higher levels, gaining privileges and responsibilities in the process. The trusted students are permitted to participate in off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through High-Quality Curriculum and Skilled Teachers. 

Most boys who have been failing or falling behind not just catch up but pull ahead. We meet all standards [set by Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they complete our academic program. School takes place all year long as students study at their own pace through high-quality 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 helpful to Christian growth. Students attend group Bible studies, go to chapel twice weekly, and meet with a counselor to pursue individually assigned Bible studies meant 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 conferences for teaching on boundaries and constructive parenting.

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

Although it is not located in Norton, Virginia, Gateway could be the kind of environment your son needs to generate a change for the better. Please call or fill in our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
