Phase 1- From Diapers to Duty

Leadership is a gradual process, not something that develops instantly. Image if you will youth sports like football. You develop from 2-hand touch to flag football, to junior tackle, to junior varsity, finally Varsity football—each stage building the next. Like the stages in football development, Gatekeepers Academy helps children grow through every season of development, reinforcing moral character, civic responsibility, and leadership grounded in Biblical truth.

Phase 2- From Duty to Dynasty

At Gatekeepers Academy, our vision is to provide Biblical civics training that equips the next generation to understand their rights, responsibilities, and calling as citizens under God.

Organized by township we'd like to see children of the same grades grow up learning the same Biblical foundation in civics, learning together the language of faith, freedom, and responsibility.

The goal is to serve churches, schools, youth programs, and Turning Point USA clubs, bringing our constitution Coaches to each location—by invitation—at times that best fit their schedules.

Hopefully, by the time students reach high school, they are learning civics from a Biblical, historical, and constitutional perspective—studying election cycles, campaigns, and servant leadership—preparing to serve and disciple their communities as one united generation.

If after high school your child doesn’t go to college or the military and is searching for direction, we have some suggestions in our Post Grad Careers page.

But it doesn’t stop at career. We are all called—now—to discipleship, and that’s where Gatekeepers Solutions continues the journey after high school.

Real freedom began when Jesus was crucified on the Cross, freeing us from sin. Our faith is our guiding light. We are called to be the salt and the light in our communities.

At Gatekeepers Academy, our desire—alongside providing a quality education—is to see more Christian warriors defending liberty in local places of influence. Men and women who live their faith boldly, serve with humility, and lead their communities with courage and conviction.
