Need Help with Your Teenage Boy?  Though Not in Williston, South Carolina, Would You Take a Look At 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, 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 meant to bring about change in a boy’s heart and life. Within the structure and order of a military academy, wayward teenage boys soon become respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Williston, South Carolina, You Can Set the Stage for a New Start and a New Direction for Your Boy by Having Him Come to Gateway

Over 1000 boys from each of the 50 states and internationally have turned their lives around at Gateway Boys Academy. We  accept young men from around the country, including from Williston, South Carolina.

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

Gateway Boys Academy serves young men ages 11 to 17 who have chosen a dangerous path in life. Our campus is located in the panhandle of Florida, and our academy is reachable from Williston, South Carolina and cities around the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we commit to demonstrating the love of God to each and every cadet, surrounding him with compassionate care. Many of our staff have been in your place, either having attended 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 begin in our basic training platoon under the supervision of drill instructors. For the initial few 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 get confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive as opposed to their previously destructive activities. In time, they promote to higher levels, acquiring privileges and responsibilities along the way. The upper level military school cadet is allowed to do off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through High-Quality Curriculum and Certified Teachers. 

Most teens who were failing or falling behind not only get caught up but pull ahead. We meet all established by Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they graduate our academic program. Our academy operates all year round as students study at their own pace through high-quality 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 and strive to establish a Godly atmosphere favorable to Christian growth. Young men attend group Bible studies, go to chapel 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, we focus on family restoration. Four months after the cadet enrolls, parents begin attending weekend conferences to learn about boundaries and effective parenting.

Most students in our program turn from their self-destructive behavior to an attitude of serving others. If your teenage boy needs order and discipline to put his life in order, please consider Gateway.

Although not located in Williston, South Carolina, Gateway could be just the environment your teen needs to generate a change for the better. Please call or submit our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
