Need Help with a Wayward Son?  Though Not in South Hill, Virginia, 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, as well as 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 academy, wayward teenage boys soon become respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in South Hill, 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 every state and internationally have changed the course of their lives at Gateway Boys Academy. We  serve boys from around the country, including from South Hill, Virginia.

Our Friendly 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 school is accessible from South Hill, Virginia and cities across 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 shoes, either having completed a similar program themselves or having enrolled a child of their own in our military school in the past.

Boys are Transformed through Our Military School

Teens start in our basic training platoon with the supervision of drill instructors. For the first few months, physical exercise, a packed schedule, attention to neatness and chores give them structure and establish order in their lives.

At Gateway, boys figure out how to stop struggling against authority and begin to gain confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive as an alternative to their previously destructive activities. Over time, they promote to higher levels, obtaining privileges and responsibilities in the process. The highest level student is permitted to participate in off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through First-Rate Curriculum and Certified Teachers. 

Most boys who have been failing or falling behind not only get caught up but pull ahead. Gateway meets all requirements by Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they complete our academic program. Our school operates all year round as students work 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 Spiritual Relationship, Direction, and Purpose In Life

Spiritual things are important at Gateway Boys Academy. We offer to every cadet a relationship with Jesus and strive to maintain a Godly atmosphere helpful to Christian growth. Students attend group Bible studies, go to chapel services two times a week, and meet with a counselor for individually assigned Bible studies designed for character development.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway Boys Academy, we concentrate on family restoration. After four months of enrollment for the cadet, parents begin attending weekend seminars for teaching on boundaries and effective parenting.

Most boys in our program turn from their self-destructive behavior to a lifetime of serving others. If your teenager needs order and discipline to change his direction, please consider Gateway.

Although not located in South Hill, Virginia, Gateway can be the kind of environment your teen needs to generate a change for the better. We invite you to call or fill in our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
