Our Compassionate Staff Teach Our Boarding School Students a Better Way to Live

Gateway Boys Academy serves teenagers ages 11 to 17 who have made rebellious choices in life. Our military school is situated in the panhandle of Florida, and our school is reachable from Spencer, West Virginia and cities around 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. A number of our staff have been in your shoes, 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 Gateway Boys Academy

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

At Gateway, boys begin to stop struggling against authority and begin to get confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive instead of their previously destructive activities. Over time, they promote to higher levels, obtaining privileges and responsibilities as they move up. The trusted students are eligible for off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through First-Rate Curriculum and Skilled Teachers. 

Most teens who were failing or falling behind not only get up to date but pull ahead. We meet all standards [set by Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they graduate our academic program. School takes place all year long as students work at their own pace through top-notch 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 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 create a Godly atmosphere conducive to Christian growth. Students attend group Bible studies, go to chapel services twice weekly, and meet with a counselor to pursue individually assigned Bible studies meant for character growth.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway Boys Academy, we give attention to family restoration. Four months after the cadet enrolls, parents begin attending weekend events for teaching on boundaries and positive parenting.

Most students 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 it is not located in Spencer, West Virginia, Gateway could be the sort of environment your boy needs to produce a positive change. Please call or fill out our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
