Need HELP WITH A BOY THAT IS FAILING IN SCHOOL AND LIFE?  Though Not in Shenandoah, Virginia, Would You Take a Look At 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. Within the structure and order of a military school, wayward teen boys soon turn into respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Shenandoah, Virginia, 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 turned their lives around at Gateway Boys Academy. We  accept boys from across the country, including from Shenandoah, Virginia.

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 military school is situated in the panhandle of Florida, and our academy is reachable from Shenandoah, Virginia and cities throughout 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. Many of our staff have been in your place, either having been through 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

For the initial months, physical exercise, a packed schedule, attention to cleanliness 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. Eventually, they promote to higher levels, acquiring privileges and responsibilities as they move up. The upper level military school cadet is able to do off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through Top-Notch Curriculum and Passionate Teachers. 

Most teens who have been failing or falling behind not just get caught up but get ahead. Gateway meets all requirements by Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas at the completion of our academic program. Classes run year-round as students study at their own speed 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 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 create a Godly atmosphere encouraging to Christian growth. Boys attend group Bible studies, go to chapel services two times a week, and spend time with a counselor to pursue individually assigned Bible studies designed for character development.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

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

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

Although it is not located in Shenandoah, Virginia, Gateway may be the kind of environment your son needs to make a positive change. Please call or fill in our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
