School Reviews:

• May 09,2013 - As a long term volunteer and part time staff at Gateway Academy, my husband and I are very impressed with the quality of education provided to students, the disciplines taught, and the structure provided to young men who need these elements in their lives. Hurting young men and their parents are provided with training and support in a loving but structured environment.*-Posted by Parent *
• April 25,2013 - Our son needed the high structure Gateway provides students. They are different in that students work on only 2 to 3 classes at a time. It isn''t as overwhelming and they see their progress faster. He''s required to meet weekly goals and has consistent consequences if he doesn''t. He''s progressed from a boy who simply refused to do any school work to regularly being celebrated for his achievements at the monthly recognition. He always had the ability. Now he has the behavior that gets good grades.*-Posted by Parent *
• February 21,2013 - What a wonderful school! My son attended and love it!*-Posted by Parent *
• October 27,2012 - I am a single mom. I have stretched and sacrificed and given all I could to raise my son well. When I saw the crowd he was hanging around with and the choices he was making, I realized there was something missing. Gateway Military Academy stepped in to give him what I was not able to do myself: godly male role models, structure and consistency, and the best in educational opportunities. I count it a blessing that they helped me with the huge responsibility of parenting, and I know my son is the better for it*-Posted by Parent *
• October 06,2012 - I was so frustrated with my son, I was ready to kick him to a boot camp to straighten him out once and for all. Praise God, I found Gateway Military Academy first. The unconditional love mixed with the structure and responsibility were exactly what he needed to turn his life around. I even learned about boundaries and how to parent with consistency. We are both much better people because of his time at Gateway Military Academy.*-Posted by Parent *
