Need Help with a Wayward Son?  Though Not in Demorest, 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 are 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. When given the structure and discipline of a military academy, wayward teenage boys soon turn into respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Demorest, 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 every state and internationally have changed the course of their lives at Gateway Boys Academy. We  accept teen boys from around the country, including from Demorest, Georgia.

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

Gateway Boys Academy serves young men ages 11 to 17 who have gone off-track with life. Our campus is located in the panhandle of Florida, and our facility is accessible from Demorest, Georgia and cities across the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we believe in demonstrating the love of God to each student, surrounding him with compassionate care. Several of our staff have been in your place, either having been through a similar program themselves or having enrolled a son of their own in our military school in the past.

Boys are Transformed through our Christian Military School

Boys begin in our basic training platoon under the supervision of drill instructors. For the initial months, physical exercise, 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 start to gain confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive as opposed to their previously destructive activities. In time, they promote to higher levels, obtaining 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 Certified Teachers. 

Most teens who have been failing or falling behind not only catch up but pull ahead. Gateway meets all established by Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they graduate our academic program. Our academy operates year-round as students study at their own pace through high-quality 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 life forms a large part of life at Gateway Boys Academy. We strive to introduce every cadet to a relationship with Christ and strive to maintain a Godly atmosphere helpful to Christian growth. Young men attend group Bible studies, go to chapel twice a week, and meet with a counselor to pursue individually assigned Bible studies designed 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 conferences to learn about boundaries and positive parenting.

Most students in our program turn away from their self-destructive behavior to an attitude of serving others. If your teenager needs order and discipline to turn his life around, please consider Gateway.

Although not located in Demorest, Georgia, Gateway could be just the environment your son needs to produce a positive change. Please call or fill in our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
