Our Understanding, Staff Teach Our Boarding School Students a Better Way to Live

Gateway Boys Academy serves boys ages 11 to 17 who have chosen a dangerous path in life. Our military school is in the panhandle of Florida, and our facility is accessible from White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia and cities around 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. Several of our staff have been in your shoes, 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 Our Military School

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

At Gateway, boys begin to stop struggling against authority and begin to increase in confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive as an alternative to their previously destructive activities. Eventually, they promote to higher levels, earning privileges and responsibilities as they move up. The trusted students are permitted to participate in off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through First-Rate Curriculum and Skilled Teachers. 

Most teens who have been failing or falling behind not only catch up but pull ahead. We meet all requirements by Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas at the completion of our academic program. Our school operates all year round as students study at their own pace through high-quality 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 strive to introduce every cadet to a relationship with Christ and strive to create a Godly atmosphere helpful to Christian growth. Young men attend group Bible studies, go to chapel services twice weekly, and work with a counselor to discuss individually assigned Bible studies intended for character development.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway Boys Academy, we concentrate on family restoration. After four months of enrollment for the cadet, parents begin attending weekend conferences for training about boundaries and constructive parenting.

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

Although it is not located in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, Gateway could be the type of environment your teen needs to make a change for the better. We invite you to call or complete our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
