Though not in Vinton, Virginia, 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 young men from across the country, including from Vinton, Virginia.

Our Friendly Staff Teach Our Boarding School Students a Better Way to Live

Gateway Boys Academy serves boys ages 11 to 17 who have gone off-track with life. Our campus is located in the panhandle of Florida, and our campus is accessible from Vinton, Virginia and cities throughout 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 situation, either having completed 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 with the supervision of drill instructors. For the first few 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 begin to gain confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive as opposed to their previously destructive activities. In time, they promote to higher levels, obtaining privileges and responsibilities in the process. The highest level student is able to do off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through High-Quality Curriculum and Certified Teachers. 

Most students who were failing or falling behind not only catch up but get ahead. We meet all standards [set by the State of Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they graduate our academic program. Our academy operates all year round as students study at their own pace 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 things are important at Gateway Boys Academy. We offer to every cadet a relationship with Jesus Christ and strive to keep a Godly atmosphere conducive to Christian growth. Young men attend group Bible studies, go to chapel services twice a week, and spend time with a counselor to pursue individually assigned Bible studies intended for character development.

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 events for teaching on boundaries and positive parenting.

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

Although not located in Vinton, Virginia, Gateway may be the kind of environment your son needs to make a change for the better. We invite you to call or complete our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
