Need Help with Your Teenage Boy?  Though Not in Pendleton, South Carolina, Would You Take a Look At Gateway Christian Military School in Florida Instead?

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 turn into respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Pendleton, South 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 all 50 states and internationally have changed the course of their lives at Gateway Boys Academy. We  enroll teen boys from across the nation, including from Pendleton, South Carolina.

Our Friendly Staff Teach Our Students a Better Way to Live

Gateway Boys Academy serves teenage boys ages 11 to 17 who have made rebellious choices in life. Our military school is in the panhandle of Florida, and our academy is accessible from Pendleton, South Carolina and cities throughout 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 number of our staff have been in your situation, either having attended a similar program themselves or having enrolled a child of their own in our military school in the past.

Boys are Transformed through our Christian Military School

Boys start in our basic training platoon with the supervision of drill instructors. For the initial few months, physical training, 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 increase in confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive as opposed to their previously destructive activities. Eventually, they promote to higher levels, obtaining privileges and responsibilities as they move up. The trusted students are allowed to do off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through Top-Notch Curriculum and Certified Teachers. 

Most students who were failing or falling behind not just get up to date but get ahead. Gateway meets all qualifications by the State of Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they graduate our academic program. Our academy operates all year long as students work at their own pace 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 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 Christ and strive to maintain a Godly atmosphere helpful to Christian growth. Boys attend group Bible studies, go to chapel services twice weekly, and work with a counselor to discuss 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 of enrollment for the cadet, parents begin attending weekend conferences for teaching on boundaries and positive parenting.

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

Although it is not located in Pendleton, South Carolina, Gateway can be just the environment your teen needs to create a change for the better. Please call or complete our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
