Need HELP WITH A BOY THAT IS FAILING IN SCHOOL AND LIFE?  Though Not in Scranton, 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 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. Within the structure and discipline of a military school, wayward teenage boys soon turn into respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Scranton, South Carolina, You Can Set the Stage for a New Start and a New Direction for Your Boy by Having Him Come to Gateway

Over 1000 boys from all 50 states and internationally have turned their lives around at Gateway Boys Academy. We  enroll boys from across the country, including from Scranton, South Carolina.

Our Friendly Staff Teach Our Students a Better Way to Live

Gateway Boys Academy serves teenage boys ages 11 to 17 who have made rebellious choices in life. Our campus is located in the panhandle of Florida, and our campus is accessible from Scranton, South Carolina and cities across the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we focus on demonstrating the love of God to each and every cadet, surrounding him with compassionate care. A number of our staff have been in your shoes, either having attended a similar program themselves or having enrolled a teen of their own in our military school in the past.

Boys are Transformed through Gateway Boys Academy

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

At Gateway, boys figure out how to stop struggling against authority and start to increase in confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive rather than their previously destructive activities. Over time, they promote to higher levels, earning privileges and responsibilities in the process. The highest level student is allowed to do off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through First-Rate Curriculum and Certified Teachers. 

Most students who were failing or falling behind not only 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. Our academy operates year-round as students work at their own pace through high-quality curriculum and certified teachers. Our high standards allow credits to transfer 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 Jesus and strive to establish a Godly atmosphere helpful to Christian growth. Boys attend group Bible studies, go to chapel services twice each week, and meet with a counselor to complete individually assigned Bible studies intended for character development.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway Boys Academy, we promote family restoration. After four months, parents begin attending weekend events 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 Scranton, South Carolina, Gateway may be the type of environment your son needs to produce a positive change. Please call or fill out our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
