Need Help with a Wayward Son?  Though Not in Spruce Pine, North Carolina, Would You Consider Gateway Christian Military School in Florida Instead?

Gateway Boys Academy is a lower cost military school in West Florida like no other. We include 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 academy, wayward teenage boys soon turn into respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Spruce Pine, North Carolina, 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 put their lives back on track at Gateway Boys Academy. We  accept boys from all around the nation, including from Spruce Pine, North Carolina.

Our Friendly Staff Teach Our Students a Better Way to Live

Gateway Boys Academy serves young men ages 11 to 17 who have chosen a dangerous path in life. Our campus is located in the panhandle of Florida, and our academy is reachable from Spruce Pine, North Carolina 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. A number of our staff have been in your shoes, either having been through a similar program themselves or having enrolled a teen of their own in our military school in the past.

Boys are Transformed through Our Military School

Boys begin in our basic training platoon under the supervision of drill instructors. For the initial few months, physical exercise, 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 gain confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive as opposed to their previously destructive activities. Eventually, they promote to higher levels, gaining privileges and responsibilities in the process. The highest level student is eligible for off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through First-Rate Curriculum and Skilled Teachers. 

Most boys who had been failing or falling behind not just catch up but get ahead. Gateway meets all established by the State of 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 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 offer to every cadet a relationship with Jesus and strive to create a Godly atmosphere conducive to Christian growth. Boys attend group Bible studies, go to chapel twice a week, and meet with a counselor to discuss individually assigned Bible studies intended for character growth.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway Boys Academy, we give attention to 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 an attitude of serving others. If your teenage boy needs order and discipline to put his life in order, please consider Gateway.

Although it is not located in Spruce Pine, North Carolina, Gateway can be just the environment your teen needs to make a change for the better. Please call or complete our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
