Need Help with a Wayward Son?  Though Not in Cornelia, Georgia, Would You Take a Look At Gateway Christian Military School in Florida Instead?

Gateway Boys Academy is a lower cost military school in West Florida like no other. We include 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 discipline of a military school, wayward teenage boys soon become respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

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

Our Understanding, Staff Teach Our 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 situated in the panhandle of Florida, and our academy is accessible from Cornelia, Georgia and cities around the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we focus on demonstrating the love of God to each student, surrounding him with compassionate care. A number of our staff have been in your situation, either having attended 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

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

At Gateway, boys realize they can stop struggling against authority and start to gain 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 in the process. The trusted students are allowed to do off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through First-Rate Curriculum and Passionate Teachers. 

Most boys who have been failing or falling behind not just catch up but get far ahead. Gateway meets all standards [set 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 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 Relationship with God, 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 maintain a Godly atmosphere encouraging to Christian growth. Young men attend group Bible studies, go to chapel services twice each week, and meet with a counselor to pursue individually assigned Bible studies designed for character development.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway Boys Academy, we promote family restoration. After four months, parents begin attending weekend seminars to learn about boundaries and effective parenting.

Most boys in our program turn away 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.
