Need Help with Your Teenage Boy?  Though Not in Woodford, Virginia, 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 unlike any other. We have a military academy, 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. With the structure and order of a military academy, wayward teenage boys soon become respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Woodford, Virginia, 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 every state and internationally have put their lives back on track at Gateway Boys Academy. We  enroll young men from around the country, including from Woodford, Virginia.

Our Friendly Staff Teach Our Students a Better Way to Live

Gateway Boys Academy serves boys ages 11 to 17 who have gone off-track with life. Our military school is in the panhandle of Florida, and our academy is accessible from Woodford, Virginia and cities around the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we commit to demonstrating the love of God to every single cadet, surrounding him with compassionate care. A number of our staff have been in your shoes, either having been through a similar program themselves or having enrolled a son of their own in our military school in the past.

Boys are Transformed through Gateway Boys Academy

Teens begin at the lowest rung of our level system. For the first months, physical training, a packed schedule, attention to orderliness and chores surround them with structure and establish order in their lives.

At Gateway, boys realize they can stop struggling against authority and begin to gain confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive instead of their previously destructive activities. Eventually, they promote to higher levels, obtaining privileges and responsibilities in the process. The senior level military school cadet is allowed to do off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through First-Rate Curriculum and Certified Teachers. 

Most teens who were failing or falling behind not just catch up but get ahead. Gateway meets all qualifications by the State of Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they complete our academic program. Our academy operates all year round as students study at their own speed through high-quality 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 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 Christ and strive to create a Godly atmosphere favorable to Christian growth. Students attend group Bible studies, go to chapel services twice a week, and work with a counselor to complete individually assigned Bible studies designed for character development.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway Boys Academy, we promote family restoration. Four months after the cadet enrolls, parents begin attending weekend seminars 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 teenager needs order and discipline to change his direction, please consider Gateway.

Although it is not located in Woodford, Virginia, Gateway could be the kind of environment your teen needs to produce a change for the better. We invite you to call or fill out our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
