Need Help with Your Teenage Boy?  Though Not in Summerton, South Carolina, 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 have 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. Under the structure and discipline of a military academy, wayward teen boys soon turn into respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Summerton, South 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 all 50 states and internationally have put their lives back on track at Gateway Boys Academy. We  enroll young men from across the nation, including from Summerton, South Carolina.

Our Friendly Staff Teach Our Students a Better Way to Live

Gateway Boys Academy serves young men ages 11 to 17 who have made rebellious choices in life. Our campus is located in the panhandle of Florida, and our school is accessible from Summerton, South Carolina and cities throughout 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 place, either having attended a similar program themselves or having enrolled a son of their own in our military school in the past.

Boys are Transformed through Our Military School

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

At Gateway, boys begin to stop struggling against authority and start to increase in confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive as opposed to their previously destructive activities. Over time, they promote to higher levels, gaining privileges and responsibilities as they move up. The upper level military school cadet is permitted to participate in 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 only catch up but pull 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 long as students study at their own pace through first-rate 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

We emphasize spiritual life at Gateway Boys Academy. We offer to every cadet a relationship with Jesus and strive to create a Godly atmosphere favorable to Christian growth. Young men attend group Bible studies, go to chapel twice weekly, and spend time with a counselor to complete individually assigned Bible studies meant for character growth.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway Boys Academy, we concentrate on family restoration. Four months after the cadet enrolls, parents begin attending weekend seminars for teaching on boundaries and effective parenting.

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

Although not located in Summerton, South Carolina, Gateway may be the type of environment your son needs to create a change for the better. Please call or complete our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
