Need Help with a Wayward Son?  Though Not in Saint George, South Carolina, Would You Give Some Consideration to Gateway Christian Military School in Florida Instead?

Gateway Boys Academy is a lower cost military school in West Florida unlike any other. We include 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. Within the structure and order of a military academy, wayward teenage boys soon become respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Saint George, South Carolina, 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 each of the 50 states and internationally have put their lives back on track at Gateway Boys Academy. We  serve young men from across the nation, including from Saint George, South Carolina.

Our Compassionate Staff Teach Our 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 accessible from Saint George, South 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. Many of our staff have been in your place, either having attended 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 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 learn to stop struggling against authority and start to gain confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive instead of their previously destructive activities. In time, they promote to higher levels, obtaining privileges and responsibilities as they move up. The upper level military school cadet is eligible for off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through First-Rate Curriculum and Skilled Teachers. 

Most teens who have been failing or falling behind not just get caught up but pull ahead. We meet all requirements by the State of Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they complete our academic program. Classes run year-round as students study at their own speed through first-rate 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

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

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway, we focus on family restoration. After four months, parents begin attending weekend conferences to learn about boundaries and positive parenting.

Most students 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 change his direction, please consider Gateway.

Although it is not located in Saint George, South Carolina, Gateway may be the type of environment your boy needs to create a change for the better. Please call or fill out our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
