Need Help with Your Teenage Boy?  Though Not in Cocoa Beach, Florida, Would You Consider 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, and 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. When given the structure and order of a military school, wayward teenage boys soon turn into respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Cocoa Beach, Florida, 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 changed the course of their lives at Gateway Boys Academy. We  accept young men from all around the nation, including from Cocoa Beach, Florida.

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

Gateway Boys Academy serves teenagers ages 11 to 17 who have made rebellious choices in life. Our military school is in the panhandle of Florida, and our facility is reachable from Cocoa Beach, Florida and cities throughout the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we focus on demonstrating the love of God to every cadet, surrounding him with compassionate care. A number of our staff have been in your place, 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 Military School

Boys begin 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 begin to grow in confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive rather than their previously destructive activities. Eventually, 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 Top-Notch Curriculum and Skilled Teachers. 

Most students who have been failing or falling behind not only get caught up but pull ahead. Gateway meets all requirements by Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas at the completion of our academic program. Classes run year-round as students work at their own pace through top-notch 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 maintain a Godly atmosphere favorable 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 intended for character development.

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 teaching on boundaries and constructive parenting.

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

Although it is not located in Cocoa Beach, Florida, Gateway may be the kind of environment your boy needs to generate a change for the better. Please call or fill out our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
