Need Help with a Wayward Son?  Though Not in Trenton, South 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 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 meant to bring about change in a boy’s heart and life. When given the structure and discipline of a military school, wayward teen boys soon turn into respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Trenton, 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 every state and internationally have put their lives back on track at Gateway Boys Academy. We  enroll young men from across the country, including from Trenton, South Carolina.

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

Gateway Boys Academy serves young men ages 11 to 17 who have made rebellious choices in life. Our military school is situated in the panhandle of Florida, and our school is reachable from Trenton, 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 few of our staff have been in your shoes, either having attended a similar program themselves or having enrolled a teen of their own in our military school in the past.

Boys are Transformed through our Christian Military School

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

At Gateway, boys figure out how 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, 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 Skilled Teachers. 

Most teens who had been failing or falling behind not only get up to date but pull ahead. Gateway meets all qualifications by Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they graduate our academic program. School takes place year-round as students study 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 Relationship with God, 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 encouraging to Christian growth. Students attend group Bible studies, go to chapel services twice a week, and spend time with a counselor to pursue individually assigned Bible studies designed to build character.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway Boys Academy, we give attention to family restoration. Four months after the cadet enrolls, parents begin attending weekend conferences to learn about boundaries and effective parenting.

Most boys 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 put his life in order, please consider Gateway.

Although not located in Trenton, South Carolina, Gateway may be the sort of environment your teen needs to create a change for the better. Please call or fill in our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
