Gateway Military

Gateway Boarding School for Troubled Boys offers several advantages:
◦Change forces change. Taking a troubled teen away from his current home and school forces him to adjust to a new environment. He has to change because the old things and people he was rebelling against are no longer there. Any change, even rebelling against a new person, requires thinking. He no longer has the option of blindly continuing the same behavior patterns. He has to think.
◦He will earn high school credits. He doesn’t have a choice. He can’t skip classes. The teachers are not going to ignore him. Sooner or later he will get tired of sitting at a desk for eight hours and doing absolutely nothing. We have NEVER had one student complete the program without earning significant credits. Many earn their high school diploma.
◦We can offer a level of consistency that is simply not possible in a home setting. Parents have to go to work. They must respond to the needs of their other children. At the end of a traditional school day the teacher goes home whether the student has learned anything or not. That’s not the case at Gateway Academy for Troubled Boys. We have the staff necessary to provide day-by-day, hour-by-hour consistency.
◦We can keep your son safe. Parents are often afraid of what will happen to their son-gone-wild. He won’t enjoy every minute here but he will be safe. And chances are others will be safer as well.
◦We are very good at what we do. Parents often ask if we will be able to “handle” their son. The answer is yes. None of the boys are here because they skipped Sunday School in favor of fishing. Every boy who enters our program has his own challenges. We’ve been doing this a long time. We’ve seen a lot of boys come through our program. We know what to do.

If your son is a troubled teen showing dangerous signs, call us at 850-547-9011. We are here to help.
