Need Help with Your Teenage Boy?  Though Not in Timmonsville, South 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 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. 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 Timmonsville, South Carolina, You Can Set the Stage for a New Start and a New Direction for Your Boy by Having Him Come to Gateway

Over 1000 boys from all 50 states and internationally have put their lives back on track at Gateway Boys Academy. We  serve boys from across the country, including from Timmonsville, South Carolina.

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

Gateway Boys Academy serves teenagers ages 11 to 17 who have gone off-track with life. Our military school is in the panhandle of Florida, and our school is reachable from Timmonsville, South Carolina and cities around the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we focus on demonstrating the love of God to each student, surrounding him with compassionate care. A number of our staff have been in your situation, 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 with the supervision of drill instructors. For the first few months, physical training, a packed schedule, attention to orderliness and chores give them structure and establish order in their lives.

At Gateway, boys realize they can stop struggling against authority and begin to gain confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive rather than their previously destructive activities. In time, they promote to higher levels, obtaining privileges and responsibilities in the process. The trusted students are able to do off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through First-Rate Curriculum and Skilled Teachers. 

Most teens who have been failing or falling behind not just 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 when they complete our academic program. Our school operates year-round as students work 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 Spiritual Relationship, 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 Christ and strive to establish a Godly atmosphere helpful to Christian growth. Students attend group Bible studies, go to chapel services twice a week, and meet with a counselor to complete individually assigned Bible studies designed for character growth.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway, we focus on family restoration. Four months after the cadet enrolls, parents begin attending weekend events to learn about boundaries and effective 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 turn his life around, please consider Gateway.

Although it is not located in Timmonsville, South Carolina, Gateway could be the type of environment your teen needs to make a positive change. Please call or fill out our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
