Need Help with Your Teenage Boy?  Though Not in Wilkesboro, North Carolina, Would You Consider Gateway Christian Military School in Florida Instead?

Gateway Boys Academy is a lower cost military school in West Florida unlike any other. We have a military academy, 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 designed to bring about change in a boy’s heart and life. When given the structure and discipline of a military academy, wayward teenage boys soon turn into respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Wilkesboro, 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  serve teen boys from around the country, including from Wilkesboro, North Carolina.

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

Gateway Boys Academy serves boys ages 11 to 17 who have chosen a dangerous path in life. Our campus is located in the panhandle of Florida, and our campus is reachable from Wilkesboro, 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. Many of our staff have been in your shoes, either having completed a similar program themselves or having enrolled a child of their own in our military school in the past.

Boys are Transformed through Gateway Boys Academy

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

At Gateway, boys learn to stop struggling against authority and begin to grow in confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive instead of their previously destructive activities. In 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 Passionate Teachers. 

Most students who had been failing or falling behind not just get up to date but pull ahead. We meet all qualifications by Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they graduate our academic program. School takes place all year-round as students work 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

We emphasize spiritual life at Gateway Boys Academy. We strive to introduce every cadet to a relationship with Jesus and strive to keep a Godly atmosphere favorable to Christian growth. Boys attend group Bible studies, go to chapel twice each week, and work with a counselor to pursue individually assigned Bible studies intended for character development.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

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

Most boys 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 Wilkesboro, North Carolina, Gateway may be the kind of environment your teen needs to produce a change for the better. We invite you to call or fill in our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
