Need Help with Your Teenage Boy?  Though Not in Buchanan, Georgia, Would You Consider Gateway Christian Military School in Florida Instead?

Gateway Boys Academy is a lower cost military school in West Florida unlike any 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 meant to bring about change in a boy’s heart and life. With the structure and discipline of a military school, wayward teen boys soon turn into respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Buchanan, Georgia, You Can Set the Stage for a New Start and a New Direction for Your Boy by Having Him Spend Time Here

Over 1000 boys from each of the 50 states and internationally have put their lives back on track at Gateway Boys Academy. We  enroll young men from across the nation, including from Buchanan, Georgia.

Our Friendly Staff Teach Our Boarding School Students a Better Way to Live

Gateway Boys Academy serves boys ages 11 to 17 who have made rebellious choices in life. Our campus is located in the panhandle of Florida, and our academy is reachable from Buchanan, Georgia 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. A number 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 Gateway Boys Academy

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

At Gateway, boys learn to stop struggling against authority and start to grow in confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive rather than their previously destructive activities. In time, they promote to higher levels, acquiring privileges and responsibilities along the way. The highest level student is eligible for off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through First-Rate Curriculum and Passionate Teachers. 

Most boys who were failing or falling behind not only get up to date but pull ahead. Gateway meets all established by the State of Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas at the completion of our academic program. Our school operates all year round as students study at their own pace through first-rate 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

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

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway, we focus on family restoration. Four months after the cadet enrolls, parents begin attending weekend events for training about boundaries and positive parenting.

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

Although it is not located in Buchanan, Georgia, Gateway can be just the environment your boy needs to produce a change for the better. Please call or fill out our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
