Need Help with a Wayward Son?  Though Not in Wallace, North 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 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 discipline of a military school, wayward teenage boys soon turn into respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Wallace, North Carolina, You Can Set the Stage for a New Start and a New Direction for Your Boy by Having Him Spend Time Here

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 facility is reachable from Wallace, North Carolina and cities throughout the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we believe in demonstrating the love of God to every cadet, 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 child of their own in our military school in the past.

Boys are Transformed through Gateway Boys Academy

Boys begin in our basic training platoon with the supervision of drill instructors. For the initial few months, physical training, a packed schedule, attention to orderliness and chores give them structure and establish order in their lives.

At Gateway, boys learn to stop struggling against authority and start to get confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive as opposed to their previously destructive activities. In time, they promote to higher levels, earning privileges and responsibilities in the process. The trusted students are allowed to do off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through Top-Notch Curriculum and Skilled Teachers. 

Most students who have been failing or falling behind not just get caught up but get far ahead. Gateway meets all qualifications by the State of Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas at the completion of our academic program. Our school operates year-round as students study at their own pace through first-rate 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 strive to introduce every cadet to a relationship with Jesus Christ and strive to create a Godly atmosphere conducive to Christian growth. Students attend group Bible studies, go to chapel twice each week, and spend time with a counselor to discuss individually assigned Bible studies designed to build character.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway Boys Academy, we give attention to family restoration. After four months, parents begin attending weekend events for training 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 teenager needs order and discipline to put his life in order, please consider Gateway.

Although it is not located in Wallace, North Carolina, Gateway can be the sort of environment your son needs to produce a positive change. We invite you to call or complete our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
