Need Help with a Wayward Son?  Though Not in Quantico, Virginia, Would You Consider Gateway Christian Military School in Florida Instead?

Gateway Boys Academy is a lower cost military school in West Florida like no 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. Under the structure and order of a military academy, wayward teen boys soon become respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Quantico, Virginia, You Can Set the Stage for a New Start and a New Direction for Your Boy by Having Him Spend Time Here

Over 1000 boys from every state and internationally have turned their lives around at Gateway Boys Academy. We  accept teen boys from around the country, including from Quantico, Virginia.

Our Friendly Staff Teach Our 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 campus is reachable from Quantico, 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. Several of our staff have been in your situation, either having been through 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

Boys start in our basic training platoon beneath the supervision of drill instructors. For the initial few months, physical training, a packed schedule, attention to neatness 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 gain confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive as an alternative to their previously destructive activities. Eventually, they promote to higher levels, earning privileges and responsibilities as they move up. The trusted students are eligible for off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through Top-Notch Curriculum and Certified Teachers. 

Most students who have been failing or falling behind not just get up to date but get ahead. Gateway meets all standards [set by the State of Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas at the completion of our academic program. Classes run 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 create a Godly atmosphere conducive 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 designed to build character.

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 events for training about boundaries and constructive parenting.

Most boys in our program turn away from their self-destructive behavior to a life 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 Quantico, Virginia, Gateway can be the kind of environment your son needs to make a positive change. We invite you to call or fill in our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
