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

Gateway Boys Academy serves teenage boys ages 11 to 17 who have made rebellious choices in life. Our campus is located in the panhandle of Florida, and our academy is reachable from Whiteville, North Carolina and cities across 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 number of our staff have been in your shoes, either having completed a similar program themselves or having enrolled a son 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 under the supervision of drill instructors. For the initial few months, physical exercise, a packed schedule, attention to cleanliness and chores give them structure and establish order in their lives.

At Gateway, boys learn to stop struggling against authority and start to grow in confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive rather than their previously destructive activities. In time, they promote to higher levels, gaining privileges and responsibilities in the process. The upper level military school cadet is allowed to do off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through First-Rate Curriculum and Certified Teachers. 

Most boys who were failing or falling behind not only get up to date but get ahead. Gateway meets all standards [set by the State of Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas at the completion of our academic program. Classes run year-round as students study at their own pace through top-notch curriculum and certified teachers. Our high standards allow students to transfer back 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 establish a Godly atmosphere encouraging to Christian growth. Students attend group Bible studies, go to chapel services twice a week, and spend time with a counselor to complete individually assigned Bible studies meant to build character.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway Boys Academy, we promote family restoration. After four months, parents begin attending weekend conferences for teaching on boundaries and constructive parenting.

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

Although it is not located in Whiteville, North Carolina, Gateway may be the kind of environment your son needs to make a change for the better. Please call or submit our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
