Gateway Academy is resolute that each young man receives an individualized balance of intense therapy, accredited schooling and recreational ventures. Parents can rest assured that their son is learning to create a life where he feels worthwhile, connected and in control.

Specifically, each young man receives weekly individual and family therapy, as well as daily specialized groups according to their individual needs. These groups include: Adolescent Male Development, Trauma Resolution, Anxiety and Depression, Substance Abuse, Competency and Skill Development, and Transition. Additionally, Gateway Academy utilizes an integrated recreational and wilderness approach to provide a well-rounded cognitive, emotional, and physical growth experience. Each young man is also provided on-site psychiatric services as needed.
