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

Gateway Boys Academy serves boys ages 11 to 17 who have gone off-track with life. Our military school is in the panhandle of Florida, and our school is reachable from Buena Vista, 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 place, either having completed a similar program themselves or having enrolled a son of their own in our military school in the past.

Boys are Transformed through Our Military School

Teens start in our basic training platoon beneath the supervision of drill instructors. For the initial few months, physical training, a packed schedule, attention to neatness and chores provide 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 instead of their previously destructive activities. Over time, they promote to higher levels, earning privileges and responsibilities as they move up. The senior level military school cadet is allowed to do off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through High-Quality Curriculum and Passionate Teachers. 

Most boys who were failing or falling behind not only get caught up but pull ahead. We meet all standards [set by the State of Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they complete our academic program. School takes place year-round as students study at their own speed through first-rate curriculum and certified teachers. Our high standards allow transfers 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 life forms a large part of life at Gateway Boys Academy. We strive to introduce every cadet to a relationship with Jesus and strive to keep a Godly atmosphere encouraging to Christian growth. Young men attend group Bible studies, go to chapel twice a week, and work with a counselor for individually assigned Bible studies designed for character growth.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

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

Most boys in our program turn from their self-destructive behavior to an attitude 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 Buena Vista, Georgia, Gateway may be the sort of environment your son needs to create a change for the better. We invite you to call or complete our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
