Need Help with a Wayward Son?  Though Not in Oak Hill, 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 have a military academy, 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 designed to bring about change in a boy’s heart and life. When given the structure and order of a military academy, wayward teen boys soon become respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Oak Hill, West Virginia, 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 found a change of heart at Gateway Boys Academy. We  enroll teen boys from all around the nation, including from Oak Hill, West Virginia.

Our Friendly 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 school is reachable from Oak Hill, West Virginia and cities across the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we focus on demonstrating the love of God to every single cadet, surrounding him with compassionate care. A few of our staff have been in your shoes, either having attended 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 under the supervision of drill instructors. For the first few months, physical exercise, a packed schedule, attention to orderliness and chores provide them with structure and establish order in their lives.

At Gateway, boys learn 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 senior behavioral level student is eligible for off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through High-Quality Curriculum and Passionate Teachers. 

Most boys who were failing or falling behind not just get caught up but get far ahead. We meet all requirements by Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they complete our academic program. Our school operates year-round as students work at their own speed through top-notch 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 Jesus and strive to create a Godly atmosphere favorable to Christian growth. Boys attend group Bible studies, go to chapel twice each week, and meet 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. Four months after the cadet enrolls, parents begin attending weekend conferences to learn about boundaries and effective 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 put his life in order, please consider Gateway.

Although it is not located in Oak Hill, West Virginia, Gateway could be the sort of environment your boy needs to create a change for the better. Please call or fill in our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
