Military-Style and Designed for struggling teenage boys.
Once a typical military school, Gateway is now so much more! It offers a life-changing boarding school for boys that builds discipline, respect and leadership in troubled boys.
GATEWAY ACADEMY HELPS TROUBLED BOYS
Boys who have gotten off track in life need discipline and they need order. They need to learn a trade and begin to show respect for authority and for their loved ones. And most of all, they need God in their lives.From its military school roots, Gateway remains regimented, but it now blends a character-enriching and vocational program into a military-like decorum. The boarding school has eliminated the meaningless drills and drill sergeants of typical military schools and boot camps.
OUR PASSION TO HELP BOYS
The primary goal of Gateway is to help young men turn around from bad behavior and attitudes and grow in faith. Students are encouraged and mentored to live out their faith in everything that they do and say.
More effective and affordable than military schools or boot camps
Gateway costs less, so we can help more boys. If you could see the before and after pictures of the boys who come to Gateway, you would see boys who were once destined to be school dropouts or in trouble with the law who have blossomed into confident, happy, caring young men. You would see once selfish boys with a chip on their shoulders who are now ready to give someone in need the shirt off their back. You would see once aimless boys now with self-respect, respect for others, and with a direction and purpose for their life.
TESTIMONIAL FROM AN ANONYMOUS PARENT
“For almost a year we’d known our son was having problems. He was defiant at home, addicted to video games, lazy and belligerent. He was flunking out of school, and we were shocked to learn of alcohol use, “weed” smoking, prescription meds and worse.The worst part wasn’t the lack of goals or ambition but an overwhelming sense of hopelessness and apathy for the future. Hard to imagine what might have happened in the next year without Gateway Academy.
In the time he has been at Gateway, the transformation has been nothing short of a miracle. Any adult would now say “you have a fine young man”. Passing school with a B average, physically fit, polite, thoughtful,happy, goal oriented and has bright plans for his future. We cannot recommend Gateway highly enough! The place is a miracle and the staff are very, very special people, who love these boys like their own.”
