Need Help with Your Teenage Boy?  Though Not in Norwood, North Carolina, Would You Give Some Consideration to Gateway Christian Military School in Florida Instead?

Gateway Boys Academy is a lower cost military school in West Florida unlike any 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. Under the structure and discipline of a military school, wayward teen boys soon turn into respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Norwood, North Carolina, You Can Set the Stage for a New Start and a New Direction for Your Boy by Having Him Come to Gateway

Over 1000 boys from every state and internationally have changed the course of their lives at Gateway Boys Academy. We  serve young men from across the country, including from Norwood, North Carolina.

Our Compassionate 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 in the panhandle of Florida, and our academy is accessible from Norwood, North Carolina 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 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 start in our basic training platoon beneath the supervision of drill instructors. For the initial months, physical training, a packed schedule, attention to neatness and chores surround them with structure and establish order in their lives.

At Gateway, boys begin to stop struggling against authority and begin to increase in confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive rather than their previously destructive activities. Over time, they promote to higher levels, gaining privileges and responsibilities as they move up. The senior behavioral level student is eligible for off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through First-Rate Curriculum and Passionate Teachers. 

Most teens who have been failing or falling behind not just get caught up but pull ahead. We meet all requirements 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 speed through first-rate curriculum and certified teachers. Our high standards allow transfers to public institutions or to go on to college or the military.

Boys Discover a New Relationship with God, Direction and Purpose In Life

Spiritual things are important at Gateway Boys Academy. We strive to introduce every cadet to a relationship with Christ and strive to maintain a Godly atmosphere encouraging to Christian growth. Young men attend group Bible studies, go to chapel twice each week, and work with a counselor to complete individually assigned Bible studies intended to build character.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway, we focus on family restoration. Four months after the cadet enrolls, parents begin attending weekend conferences to learn about boundaries and positive parenting.

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

Although not located in Norwood, North Carolina, Gateway can be the kind of environment your boy needs to produce a positive change. We invite you to call or submit our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
