Need Help with a Wayward Son?  Though Not in Washington, West Virginia, Would You Give Some Consideration to 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, 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. With the structure and discipline of a military academy, wayward teen boys soon turn into respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Washington, West 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 each of the 50 states and internationally have found a change of heart at Gateway Boys Academy. We  enroll boys from across the nation, including from Washington, West Virginia.

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

Gateway Boys Academy serves teenagers ages 11 to 17 who have made rebellious choices in life. Our military school is in the panhandle of Florida, and our facility is reachable from Washington, West Virginia and cities throughout the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we believe in demonstrating the love of God to every single cadet, surrounding him with compassionate care. Several of our staff have been in your shoes, 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 our Christian Military School

Boys start in our basic training platoon with the supervision of drill instructors. For the initial months, physical exercise, a packed schedule, attention to orderliness 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. In time, they promote to higher levels, obtaining privileges and responsibilities as they move up. The trusted students are eligible for off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through High-Quality Curriculum and Skilled Teachers. 

Most teens who have been failing or falling behind not just catch up but get far ahead. Gateway meets all established by Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they graduate our academic program. Our school operates all year long as students work at their own speed through top-notch 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 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 create a Godly atmosphere conducive to Christian growth. Young men attend group Bible studies, go to chapel twice each week, and meet with a counselor for individually assigned Bible studies designed for character growth.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

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

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

Although it is not located in Washington, West Virginia, Gateway could be the sort of environment your boy needs to produce a change for the better. Please call or submit our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
