Need Help with a Wayward Son?  Though Not in Ball Ground, Georgia, Would You Give Some Consideration to Gateway Christian Military School in Florida Instead?

Gateway Boys Academy is a lower cost military school in West Florida like no other. We have a military academy, an accredited school, as well as a working ranch and farm, as well as counseling and mentoring, competitive team sports, a spiritual emphasis, and hands-on outreach to help disadvantaged people in third-world countries. All of these are designed to bring about change in a boy’s heart and life. With the structure and discipline of a military academy, wayward teenage boys soon turn into respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Ball Ground, Georgia, 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 put their lives back on track at Gateway Boys Academy. We  accept teen boys from all around the nation, including from Ball Ground, Georgia.

Our Compassionate Staff Teach Our Students a Better Way to Live

Gateway Boys Academy serves teenagers ages 11 to 17 who have gone off-track with life. Our military school is situated in the panhandle of Florida, and our academy is accessible from Ball Ground, Georgia and cities throughout the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we believe in demonstrating the love of God to every cadet, surrounding him with compassionate care. A number of our staff have been in your situation, either having completed a similar program themselves or having enrolled a child of their own in our military school in the past.

Boys are Transformed through Gateway Boys Academy

Students begin at the bottom rung of our level system. For the first few months, physical training, a packed schedule, attention to orderliness and chores surround them with structure and establish order in their lives.

At Gateway, boys begin to stop struggling against authority and begin to increase in confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive as an alternative to their previously destructive activities. In time, they promote to higher levels, earning privileges and responsibilities as they move up. The senior behavioral level student is eligible for off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through Top-Notch Curriculum and Certified Teachers. 

Most teens who have been failing or falling behind not just get caught up but get ahead. Gateway meets all requirements by Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas at the completion of our academic program. Our school operates year-round as students study at their own pace through high-quality curriculum and certified teachers. Our high standards allow credits to transfer to public institutions or to go on to college or the military.

Boys Discover a New Spiritual Relationship, Direction, and Purpose In Life

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

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway Boys Academy, we concentrate on family restoration. After four months of enrollment for the cadet, parents begin attending weekend conferences for training about boundaries and positive parenting.

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