Need Help with Your Teenage Boy?  Though Not in Oak Ridge, North Carolina, 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 have 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 meant to bring about change in a boy’s heart and life. When given the structure and order of a military academy, wayward teenage boys soon become respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Oak Ridge, 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 turned their lives around at Gateway Boys Academy. We  accept young men from all around the nation, including from Oak Ridge, North Carolina.

Our Compassionate Staff Teach Our Students a Better Way to Live

Gateway Boys Academy serves teenagers ages 11 to 17 who have chosen a dangerous path in life. Our campus is located in the panhandle of Florida, and our facility is accessible from Oak Ridge, North Carolina and cities around the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we believe in demonstrating the love of God to every single cadet, surrounding him with compassionate care. Many of our staff have been in your shoes, either having been through a similar program themselves or having enrolled a teen of their own in our military school in the past.

Boys are Transformed through our Christian Military School

Teens begin at the lowest rung of our level system. For the first months, physical training, a packed schedule, attention to cleanliness and chores surround them with structure and establish order in their lives.

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

Academic Success through High-Quality Curriculum and Skilled Teachers. 

Most teens who were failing or falling behind not just catch up but get ahead. We meet all established by the State of Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they graduate our academic program. Our school operates all year round as students work at their own speed 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 Spiritual Relationship, Direction, and Purpose In Life

Spiritual life forms a large part of life at Gateway Boys Academy. We offer to every cadet a relationship with Jesus and strive to maintain a Godly atmosphere helpful to Christian growth. Boys attend group Bible studies, go to chapel twice a week, and work with a counselor to pursue individually assigned Bible studies intended to build character.

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 to learn about boundaries and constructive parenting.

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

Although it is not located in Oak Ridge, North Carolina, Gateway may be just the environment your boy needs to generate a positive change. Please call or fill in our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
