Need Help with a Wayward Son?  Though Not in Whittier, 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 include 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. Within the structure and discipline of a military school, wayward teenage boys soon become respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Whittier, North Carolina, 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 turned their lives around at Gateway Boys Academy. We  enroll young men from around the country, including from Whittier, North Carolina.

Our Compassionate Staff Teach Our Students a Better Way to Live

Gateway Boys Academy serves teenagers 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 Whittier, North Carolina and cities around the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we focus on demonstrating the love of God to every cadet, surrounding him with compassionate care. A few of our staff have been in your shoes, either having attended a similar program themselves or having enrolled a teen of their own in our military school in the past.

Boys are Transformed through our Christian Military School

Students begin in our basic training platoon with the supervision of drill instructors. For the first few months, physical training, a packed schedule, attention to neatness and chores surround them with structure and establish order in their lives.

At Gateway, boys learn to stop struggling against authority and start to increase in 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 as they move up. The highest level student is able to do off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through First-Rate Curriculum and Skilled Teachers. 

Most boys who have been failing or falling behind not only get up to date 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 academy operates all year round as students study at their own pace through top-notch 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 Spiritual Relationship, 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 keep a Godly atmosphere helpful to Christian growth. Students attend group Bible studies, go to chapel services twice weekly, and spend time 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, parents begin attending weekend events 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 turn his life around, please consider Gateway.

Although it is not located in Whittier, North Carolina, Gateway may be the sort of environment your teen needs to make a positive change. We invite you to call or fill in our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
