Need Help with Your Teenage Boy?  Though Not in Robbinsville, North Carolina, 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 designed to bring about change in a boy’s heart and life. With the structure and discipline of a military school, wayward teen boys soon turn into respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

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

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

Gateway Boys Academy serves teenage 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 school is accessible from Robbinsville, North Carolina and cities around 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. 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 Gateway Boys Academy

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

At Gateway, boys learn to stop struggling against authority and start to get confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive instead of their previously destructive activities. In time, they promote to higher levels, acquiring privileges and responsibilities as they move up. The highest level student is allowed to do off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through First-Rate Curriculum and Passionate Teachers. 

Most students who have been failing or falling behind not just get caught up but pull ahead. We meet all requirements by Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas at the completion of our academic program. Our academy operates year-round as students study at their own pace 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 Relationship with God, 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 Christ and strive to maintain a Godly atmosphere encouraging to Christian growth. Boys attend group Bible studies, go to chapel services twice a week, and spend time with a counselor to pursue individually assigned Bible studies intended to build character.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

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

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

Although it is not located in Robbinsville, North Carolina, Gateway can be the kind of environment your son needs to produce a positive change. Please call or complete our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
