Need HELP WITH A BOY THAT IS FAILING IN SCHOOL AND LIFE?  Though Not in Woodruff, 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, 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 designed to bring about change in a boy’s heart and life. When given the structure and discipline of a military school, wayward teen boys soon turn into respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Woodruff, 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 teen boys from all around the nation, including from Woodruff, South Carolina.

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

Gateway Boys Academy serves teenage boys ages 11 to 17 who have made rebellious choices in life. Our military school is situated in the panhandle of Florida, and our campus is reachable from Woodruff, South Carolina and cities across the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we commit to demonstrating the love of God to each student, surrounding him with compassionate care. A few 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

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

At Gateway, boys realize they can stop struggling against authority and start to grow in confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive as opposed to their previously destructive activities. Eventually, they promote to higher levels, obtaining privileges and responsibilities in the process. The trusted students are permitted to participate in off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through First-Rate Curriculum and Passionate Teachers. 

Most boys who had been failing or falling behind not just catch up but get ahead. We meet all qualifications by the State of Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas at the completion of our academic program. Our academy operates year-round as students study at their own speed 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 Relationship with God, Direction and Purpose In Life

Spiritual things are important at Gateway Boys Academy. We offer to every cadet a relationship with Christ and strive to establish a Godly atmosphere encouraging to Christian growth. Students attend group Bible studies, go to chapel services two times a week, and work with a counselor to complete individually assigned Bible studies intended for character development.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway Boys Academy, we promote family restoration. After four months of enrollment for the cadet, parents begin attending weekend seminars for teaching on boundaries and positive 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 turn his life around, please consider Gateway.

Although it is not located in Woodruff, South Carolina, Gateway could be the kind of environment your son needs to generate a positive change. We invite you to call or complete our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
