Though not in Baker, Florida, You Can Set the Stage for a New Start and a New Direction for Your Boy by Having Him Come to Gateway

Over 1000 boys from all 50 states and internationally have found a change of heart at Gateway Boys Academy. We  accept teen boys from all around the nation, including from Baker, Florida.

Our Friendly Staff Teach Our Students a Better Way to Live

Gateway Boys Academy serves teenage boys ages 11 to 17 who have chosen a dangerous path in life. Our military school is in the panhandle of Florida, and our facility is accessible from Baker, Florida and cities across the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we commit to demonstrating the love of God to every single cadet, surrounding him with compassionate care. Many of our staff have been in your shoes, either having been through a similar program themselves or having enrolled a child of their own in our military school in the past.

Boys are Transformed through our Christian Military School

Students start in our basic training platoon under the supervision of drill instructors. For the initial few months, physical exercise, a packed schedule, attention to orderliness and chores provide them with structure and establish order in their lives.

At Gateway, boys begin to stop struggling against authority and start to increase in confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive as an alternative to their previously destructive activities. Over time, they promote to higher levels, acquiring privileges and responsibilities along the way. The trusted students are permitted to participate in off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through Top-Notch Curriculum and Skilled Teachers. 

Most boys who had been failing or falling behind not only get up to date but get far ahead. Gateway meets all requirements by Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they complete our academic program. Our academy operates year-round as students study 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 Spiritual Relationship, Direction, and Purpose In Life

We emphasize spiritual life at Gateway Boys Academy. We offer to every cadet a relationship with Jesus Christ and strive to keep a Godly atmosphere favorable to Christian growth. Boys attend group Bible studies, go to chapel twice a week, and spend time with a counselor to pursue individually assigned Bible studies meant for character growth.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway Boys Academy, we promote family restoration. Four months after the cadet enrolls, parents begin attending weekend conferences for teaching on boundaries and positive parenting.

Most boys in our program turn from their self-destructive behavior to an attitude of serving others. If your teenager needs order and discipline to change his direction, please consider Gateway.

Although it is not located in Baker, Florida, Gateway can be the kind of environment your son needs to create a change for the better. Please call or complete our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
