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

Gateway Boys Academy serves young men ages 11 to 17 who have chosen a dangerous path in life. Our military school is situated in the panhandle of Florida, and our facility is reachable from Ridgeway, South Carolina and cities throughout the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we believe in demonstrating the love of God to each and 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 teen of their own in our military school in the past.

Boys are Transformed through Our Military School

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

At Gateway, boys learn to stop struggling against authority and start to increase in confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive instead of their previously destructive activities. Eventually, they promote to higher levels, acquiring privileges and responsibilities along the way. The upper level military school cadet is eligible for off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through Top-Notch Curriculum and Certified Teachers. 

Most boys who had been failing or falling behind not just get up to date but get ahead. Gateway meets all qualifications by Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they complete our academic program. School takes place year-round as students study at their own speed through high-quality 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 Jesus Christ and strive to maintain a Godly atmosphere encouraging to Christian growth. Boys attend group Bible studies, go to chapel twice each week, and spend time with a counselor to pursue individually assigned Bible studies designed 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 seminars for teaching on boundaries and constructive parenting.

Most students in our program turn away from their self-destructive behavior to a desire for serving others. If your son needs order and discipline to put his life in order, please consider Gateway.

Although it is not located in Ridgeway, South Carolina, Gateway could be the kind of environment your teen needs to generate a positive change. Please call or submit our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
