Our Understanding, Staff Teach Our Boarding School Students a Better Way to Live

Gateway Boys Academy serves teenagers ages 11 to 17 who have chosen a dangerous path in life. Our military school is situated in the panhandle of Florida, and our campus is reachable from Shannon, North Carolina and cities across the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we focus on demonstrating the love of God to every single cadet, surrounding him with compassionate care. A few of our staff have been in your shoes, 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 Gateway Boys Academy

Students begin at the bottom rung of our level system. For the initial months, physical training, a packed schedule, attention to cleanliness and chores give them structure and establish order in their lives.

At Gateway, boys learn to stop struggling against authority and begin to grow in confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive as opposed to their previously destructive activities. Eventually, they promote to higher levels, earning privileges and responsibilities in the process. The upper level military school cadet is able to do off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through Top-Notch Curriculum and Certified Teachers. 

Most teens who had been failing or falling behind not only get caught up but get far ahead. Gateway meets all established by Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they complete our academic program. Our school operates year-round as students study at their own pace through top-notch 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 strive to introduce every cadet to a relationship with Jesus and strive to keep a Godly atmosphere favorable to Christian growth. Young men attend group Bible studies, go to chapel services twice each week, and meet with a counselor to pursue individually assigned Bible studies meant for character growth.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway, we focus on family restoration. After four months of enrollment for the cadet, parents begin attending weekend events for teaching on boundaries and constructive parenting.

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

Although it is not located in Shannon, North Carolina, Gateway could be just the environment your boy needs to generate a change for the better. Please call or fill in our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
