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

Gateway Boys Academy serves teenage boys ages 11 to 17 who have gone off-track with life. Our military school is situated in the panhandle of Florida, and our school is accessible from Wayne, West Virginia and cities around the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we believe in demonstrating the love of God to each and every cadet, surrounding him with compassionate care. A few of our staff have been in your place, either having completed 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

Students start in our basic training platoon beneath the supervision of drill instructors. For the first few months, physical training, a packed schedule, attention to orderliness and chores give them structure and establish order in their lives.

At Gateway, boys realize they can stop struggling against authority and begin to get confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive as an alternative to their previously destructive activities. Over time, they promote to higher levels, obtaining privileges and responsibilities along the way. The trusted students are permitted to participate in off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through Top-Notch Curriculum and Skilled Teachers. 

Most teens who have been failing or falling behind not only get up to date but pull ahead. Gateway meets all standards [set by the State of Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they complete our academic program. School takes place year-round as students study 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 offer to every cadet a relationship with Jesus and strive to maintain a Godly atmosphere conducive to Christian growth. Students attend group Bible studies, go to chapel services two times a week, and meet with a counselor to discuss individually assigned Bible studies intended to build character.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway Boys Academy, we promote family restoration. After four months, parents begin attending weekend conferences to learn about boundaries and constructive parenting.

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