Our Understanding, Staff Teach Our Students a Better Way to Live

Gateway Boys Academy serves boys ages 11 to 17 who have gone off-track with life. Our military school is situated in the panhandle of Florida, and our academy is accessible from Pleasant Garden, North Carolina and cities throughout the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we focus on demonstrating the love of God to each and every cadet, surrounding him with compassionate care. A few of our staff have been in your place, 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 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 give them 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 instead of their previously destructive activities. In time, they promote to higher levels, earning privileges and responsibilities in the process. The highest level student is allowed to do off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through First-Rate Curriculum and Certified Teachers. 

Most boys who were failing or falling behind not only catch up but get ahead. Gateway meets all standards [set by Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they graduate our academic program. Our school operates all year long as students work at their own speed through high-quality 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 strive to introduce every cadet to a relationship with Jesus Christ and strive to create a Godly atmosphere favorable to Christian growth. Young men attend group Bible studies, go to chapel services twice weekly, and work with a counselor to complete individually assigned Bible studies designed for character growth.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway Boys Academy, we promote family restoration. Four months after the cadet enrolls, parents begin attending weekend events for training about boundaries and effective parenting.

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

Although it is not located in Pleasant Garden, North Carolina, Gateway may be the sort of environment your boy needs to produce a change for the better. We invite you to call or complete our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
