Need HELP WITH A BOY THAT IS FAILING IN SCHOOL AND LIFE?  Though Not in Timberlake, North Carolina, Would You Consider Gateway Christian Military School in Florida Instead?

Gateway Boys Academy is a lower cost military school in West Florida unlike any 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 meant to bring about change in a boy’s heart and life. Within the structure and order of a military school, wayward teen boys soon become respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Timberlake, 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 across the nation, including from Timberlake, North Carolina.

Our Understanding, Staff Teach Our Students a Better Way to Live

Gateway Boys Academy serves teenagers ages 11 to 17 who have made rebellious choices in life. Our campus is located in the panhandle of Florida, and our campus is accessible from Timberlake, North Carolina and cities across 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. Several of our staff have been in your place, either having completed 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 start in our basic training platoon beneath the supervision of drill instructors. For the first months, physical training, a packed schedule, attention to neatness and chores surround them with structure and establish order in their lives.

At Gateway, boys realize they can stop struggling against authority and start to increase in confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive instead of their previously destructive activities. In time, they promote to higher levels, gaining privileges and responsibilities as they move up. The trusted students are allowed to do off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through First-Rate Curriculum and Passionate Teachers. 

Most students who were failing or falling behind not only get up to date but get ahead. Gateway meets all requirements by Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they graduate our academic program. Classes run year-round as students study at their own speed through high-quality curriculum and certified teachers. Our high standards allow transfers 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 strive to introduce every cadet to a relationship with Jesus and strive to keep a Godly atmosphere encouraging to Christian growth. Students attend group Bible studies, go to chapel twice weekly, and meet with a counselor to complete individually assigned Bible studies intended for character development.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway Boys Academy, we promote family restoration. Four months after the cadet enrolls, parents begin attending weekend events for training about boundaries and effective parenting.

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

Although it is not located in Timberlake, North Carolina, Gateway may be the type of environment your teen needs to generate a change for the better. We invite you to call or fill out our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
