Need Help with a Wayward Son?  Though Not in Pennington Gap, Virginia, 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, 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 meant to bring about change in a boy’s heart and life. When given the structure and order of a military school, wayward teen boys soon become respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Pennington Gap, Virginia, You Can Set the Stage for a New Start and a New Direction for Your Boy by Having Him Come to Gateway

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

Gateway Boys Academy serves teenage boys 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 accessible from Pennington Gap, Virginia and cities around the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we believe in 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

Students begin at the bottom rung of our level system. For the first months, physical exercise, a packed schedule, attention to orderliness and chores surround them with structure and establish order in their lives.

At Gateway, boys realize they can stop struggling against authority and begin to grow in confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive as opposed to their previously destructive activities. Over time, they promote to higher levels, earning privileges and responsibilities in the process. The upper level military school cadet is permitted to participate in off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through High-Quality Curriculum and Certified Teachers. 

Most boys who had been failing or falling behind not only get caught up but get ahead. We meet all qualifications by the State of Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they complete our academic program. Classes run all year-round as students study at their own pace through first-rate curriculum and certified teachers. Our high standards allow credits to transfer 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 strive to introduce every cadet to a relationship with Christ and strive to maintain a Godly atmosphere encouraging to Christian growth. Students attend group Bible studies, go to chapel services twice a week, and spend time with a counselor to discuss individually assigned Bible studies intended for character growth.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway, we focus on family restoration. After four months, parents begin attending weekend events for training about 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.
