Need HELP WITH A BOY THAT IS FAILING IN SCHOOL AND LIFE?  Though Not in Sylva, North Carolina, 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 unlike any 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. When given the structure and order of a military academy, wayward teen boys soon turn into respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Sylva, 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 all 50 states and internationally have turned their lives around at Gateway Boys Academy. We  enroll young men from across the country, including from Sylva, North Carolina.

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

Gateway Boys Academy serves teenage boys ages 11 to 17 who have chosen a dangerous path in life. Our campus is located in the panhandle of Florida, and our school is reachable from Sylva, North Carolina and cities throughout the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we commit to demonstrating the love of God to each and every cadet, surrounding him with compassionate care. Many of our staff have been in your situation, 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 Christian Military School

Boys begin at the lowest rung of our level system. For the initial months, physical training, a packed schedule, attention to neatness and chores surround 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 an alternative to their previously destructive activities. Over time, they promote to higher levels, acquiring privileges and responsibilities in the process. The senior level military school cadet is able to do off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through High-Quality Curriculum and Skilled Teachers. 

Most teens who were failing or falling behind not only get up to date but get far ahead. We meet all requirements by the State of Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas at the completion of our academic program. School takes place year-round as students work at their own speed 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 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 favorable to Christian growth. Young men attend group Bible studies, go to chapel services twice a week, and work with a counselor to pursue individually assigned Bible studies designed to build character.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

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

Most students in our program turn from their self-destructive behavior to a life 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 Sylva, North Carolina, Gateway can be just the environment your teen needs to generate a change for the better. We invite you to call or complete our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
