Need Help with Your Teenage Boy?  Though Not in Rustburg, 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 have 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. Similar to the structure and order of a military school, at Gateway wayward teen boys soon turn into respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

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

Gateway Boys Academy serves teenagers ages 11 to 17 who have gone off-track with life. Our campus is located in the panhandle of Florida, and our academy is reachable from Rustburg, Virginia and cities around the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we believe in demonstrating the love of God to each student, surrounding him with compassionate care. Many of our staff have been in your situation, 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

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

At Gateway, boys begin to stop struggling against authority and begin to gain confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive as opposed to their previously destructive activities. In time, they promote to higher levels, acquiring privileges and responsibilities along the way. The highest level student is eligible for off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through High-Quality Curriculum and Certified Teachers. 

Most teens who had been failing or falling behind not only catch 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 school operates year-round as students study at their own speed through top-notch 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 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 Christ and strive to keep a Godly atmosphere helpful to Christian growth. Boys attend group Bible studies, go to chapel services twice weekly, and spend time with a counselor for individually assigned Bible studies intended for character development.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway Boys Academy, we promote family restoration. Four months after the cadet enrolls, parents begin attending weekend seminars for teaching on boundaries and positive parenting.

Most boys in our program turn away 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 Rustburg, Virginia, Gateway may be the kind of environment your boy needs to create a positive change. Please call or fill in our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
