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

Though not in Vale, North 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 each of the 50 states and internationally have found a change of heart at Gateway Boys Academy. We  serve young men from across the country, including from Vale, North Carolina.

Our Friendly Staff Teach Our 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 military school is in the panhandle of Florida, and our facility is accessible from Vale, North 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 few of our staff have been in your shoes, either having attended 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

Students start in our basic training platoon under the supervision of drill instructors. 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 begin to get confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive as an alternative to their previously destructive activities. In time, they promote to higher levels, obtaining privileges and responsibilities along the way. The upper level military school cadet is eligible for off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through Top-Notch Curriculum and Skilled Teachers. 

Most students who had been failing or falling behind not just get caught up but pull ahead. We meet all requirements by Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they graduate our academic program. Our academy operates year-round as students study at their own speed through high-quality 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 strive to introduce every cadet to a relationship with Christ and strive to establish a Godly atmosphere conducive to Christian growth. Young men attend group Bible studies, go to chapel twice each week, and spend time with a counselor to complete individually assigned Bible studies designed to build character.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway, we focus on 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 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 not located in Vale, North Carolina, Gateway could be the type of environment your teen needs to produce a change for the better. We invite you to call or fill in our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
