Need Help with a Wayward Son?  Though Not in Victoria, Virginia, 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, 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. Similar to the structure and order of a military school, at Gateway wayward teenage boys soon turn into respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Victoria, Virginia, 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 turned their lives around at Gateway Boys Academy. We  accept teen boys from across the nation, including from Victoria, Virginia.

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 gone off-track with life. Our campus is located in the panhandle of Florida, and our facility is reachable from Victoria, Virginia and cities around the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we commit to demonstrating the love of God to every cadet, surrounding him with compassionate care. Several 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 Gateway Boys Academy

Teens start in our basic training platoon with the supervision of drill instructors. For the initial few months, physical training, a packed schedule, attention to cleanliness and chores surround 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 instead of their previously destructive activities. Over time, they promote to higher levels, earning privileges and responsibilities in the process. The highest level student is able to do off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through First-Rate Curriculum and Passionate Teachers. 

Most boys who were failing or falling behind not only get up to date but get far ahead. We meet all established by the State of Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas at the completion of our academic program. Classes run all year-round as students work at their own speed through first-rate 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 life forms a large part of life at Gateway Boys Academy. We offer to every cadet a relationship with Jesus and strive to keep a Godly atmosphere encouraging to Christian growth. Students attend group Bible studies, go to chapel twice a week, and spend time with a counselor for individually assigned Bible studies intended 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 conferences to learn about boundaries and effective parenting.

Most boys in our program turn away from their self-destructive behavior to an attitude of serving others. If your son needs order and discipline to turn his life around, please consider Gateway.

Although not located in Victoria, Virginia, Gateway can be the type of environment your son needs to make a change for the better. We invite you to call or fill out our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
