Need Help with Your Teenage Boy?  Though Not in Debary, 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 are 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 designed 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 become respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Debary, 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 every state and internationally have turned their lives around at Gateway Boys Academy. We  enroll teen boys from across the country, including from Debary, Florida.

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

Gateway Boys Academy serves boys ages 11 to 17 who have chosen a dangerous path in life. Our military school is situated in the panhandle of Florida, and our facility is reachable from Debary, Florida and cities across the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we focus on demonstrating the love of God to each and every cadet, surrounding him with compassionate care. Many of our staff have been in your situation, either having been through a similar program themselves or having enrolled a child of their own in our military school in the past.

Boys are Transformed through Our Military School

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

At Gateway, boys begin to stop struggling against authority and begin to grow in confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive rather than their previously destructive activities. In time, they promote to higher levels, gaining 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 First-Rate Curriculum and Passionate Teachers. 

Most teens who have been failing or falling behind not just get up to date but get ahead. We meet all qualifications by Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they graduate our academic program. Our school operates all year long as students work at their own pace through first-rate curriculum and certified teachers. Our high standards allow students to transfer back 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 things are important at Gateway Boys Academy. We strive to introduce every cadet to a relationship with Christ and strive to create a Godly atmosphere helpful to Christian growth. Students attend group Bible studies, go to chapel services twice weekly, and spend time with a counselor to pursue individually assigned Bible studies designed to build character.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway Boys Academy, we give attention to family restoration. After four months of enrollment for the cadet, parents begin attending weekend conferences to learn about boundaries and positive parenting.

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

Although not located in Debary, Florida, Gateway could be just the environment your son needs to make a change for the better. Please call or submit our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
