Need Help with a Wayward Son?  Though Not in Winnsboro, South Carolina, Would You Give Some Consideration to Gateway Christian Military School in Florida Instead?

Gateway Boys Academy is a lower cost military school in West Florida like no 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 meant to bring about change in a boy’s heart and life. When given the structure and order of a military academy, wayward teenage boys soon turn into respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Winnsboro, 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 put their lives back on track at Gateway Boys Academy. We  serve boys from all around the nation, including from Winnsboro, South Carolina.

Our Friendly 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 situated in the panhandle of Florida, and our facility is accessible from Winnsboro, South Carolina and cities throughout the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we focus on demonstrating the love of God to each and every cadet, surrounding him with compassionate care. A few of our staff have been in your situation, 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 Gateway Boys Academy

Teens start in our basic training platoon with the supervision of drill instructors. For the first few months, physical exercise, 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 gain confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive instead of their previously destructive activities. Over time, they promote to higher levels, obtaining privileges and responsibilities as they move up. The senior level military school cadet is permitted to participate in off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through Top-Notch Curriculum and Passionate Teachers. 

Most students who were failing or falling behind not just get caught up but get far ahead. We meet all requirements by Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas at the completion of our academic program. School takes place all year-round as students study at their own pace through first-rate 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

We emphasize spiritual life at Gateway Boys Academy. We offer to every cadet a relationship with Jesus Christ and strive to keep a Godly atmosphere conducive to Christian growth. Young men attend group Bible studies, go to chapel two times a week, and meet with a counselor to pursue 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 seminars for training about boundaries and constructive parenting.

Most students in our program turn away 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 Winnsboro, South Carolina, Gateway can be just the environment your son needs to make a change for the better. We invite you to call or complete our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
