Our Friendly Staff Teach Our Students a Better Way to Live

Gateway Boys Academy serves boys ages 11 to 17 who have chosen a dangerous path in life. Our military school is situated in the panhandle of Florida, and our academy is reachable from Pound, Virginia and cities throughout 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. A number of our staff have been in your place, 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 Christian Military School

Boys begin in our basic training platoon with the supervision of drill instructors. For the initial months, physical exercise, a packed schedule, attention to orderliness and chores surround them with structure and establish order in their lives.

At Gateway, boys learn to stop struggling against authority and start to grow in confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive rather than their previously destructive activities. Over time, they promote to higher levels, acquiring privileges and responsibilities in the process. The senior level military school cadet is able to do off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through First-Rate Curriculum and Certified Teachers. 

Most students who had been failing or falling behind not just get caught up but pull ahead. Gateway meets all standards [set by Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas at the completion of our academic program. Our school operates year-round as students work at their own speed through first-rate 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

We emphasize spiritual life at Gateway Boys Academy. We offer to every cadet a relationship with Christ and strive to keep a Godly atmosphere favorable to Christian growth. Students attend group Bible studies, go to chapel twice weekly, and spend time with a counselor to pursue individually assigned Bible studies meant for character development.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway Boys Academy, we promote family restoration. After four months of enrollment for the cadet, parents begin attending weekend conferences to learn about boundaries and positive parenting.

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

Although not located in Pound, Virginia, Gateway can be the kind of environment your boy needs to make a positive change. Please call or fill out our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
