Our Understanding, Staff Teach Our Boarding School Students a Better Way to Live

Gateway Boys Academy serves young men ages 11 to 17 who have chosen a dangerous path in life. Our campus is located in the panhandle of Florida, and our campus is reachable from Alto, Georgia and cities throughout the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we commit to demonstrating the love of God to each student, surrounding him with compassionate care. A few of our staff have been in your shoes, either having been through a similar program themselves or having enrolled a teen of their own in our military school in the past.

Boys are Transformed through our Christian Military School

Boys begin in our basic training platoon with the supervision of drill instructors. For the initial few months, physical training, a packed schedule, attention to cleanliness and chores surround them with structure and establish order in their lives.

At Gateway, boys figure out how to stop struggling against authority and start to gain confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive instead of their previously destructive activities. Over time, they promote to higher levels, earning privileges and responsibilities in the process. The senior level military school cadet is allowed to do off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through First-Rate Curriculum and Skilled Teachers. 

Most teens who had been failing or falling behind not just get up to date but get far ahead. We meet all established by the State of Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they complete our academic program. Our school operates year-round as students work at their own pace through high-quality curriculum and certified teachers. Our high standards allow students to transfer back to public institutions or to go on to college or the military.

Boys Discover a New Relationship with God, Direction and Purpose In Life

Spiritual things are important at Gateway Boys Academy. We strive to introduce every cadet to a relationship with Christ and strive to maintain a Godly atmosphere helpful to Christian growth. Students attend group Bible studies, go to chapel two times a week, and spend time with a counselor for individually assigned Bible studies intended for character growth.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway, we focus on family restoration. After four months of enrollment for the cadet, parents begin attending weekend seminars for teaching on boundaries and positive parenting.

Most students in our program turn from their self-destructive behavior to a life of serving others. If your teenage boy needs order and discipline to put his life in order, please consider Gateway.

Although not located in Alto, Georgia, Gateway can be the sort of environment your son needs to generate a positive change. Please call or submit our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
