Need Help with Your Teenage Boy?  Though Not in Dover, Florida, Would You Give Some Consideration to 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 designed to bring about change in a boy’s heart and life. Within the structure and order of a military school, wayward teen boys soon become respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Dover, 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 turned their lives around at Gateway Boys Academy. We  enroll boys from around the country, including from Dover, Florida.

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

Gateway Boys Academy serves teenagers ages 11 to 17 who have chosen a dangerous path in life. Our campus is located in the panhandle of Florida, and our academy is reachable from Dover, Florida and cities throughout the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we focus on demonstrating the love of God to every single cadet, surrounding him with compassionate care. Many of our staff have been in your shoes, 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 Gateway Boys Academy

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

At Gateway, boys figure out how to stop struggling against authority and start to get confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive instead of their previously destructive activities. Eventually, they promote to higher levels, obtaining privileges and responsibilities in the process. The highest level student is permitted to participate in off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through High-Quality Curriculum and Certified Teachers. 

Most boys who have been failing or falling behind not only catch up but get far ahead. We meet all qualifications by Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they complete our academic program. Classes run all year long as students study 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 Spiritual Relationship, 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 Christ and strive to establish a Godly atmosphere conducive to Christian growth. Students attend group Bible studies, go to chapel twice a week, and meet with a counselor to discuss individually assigned Bible studies intended to build character.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway, we focus on family restoration. Four months after the cadet enrolls, parents begin attending weekend seminars to learn about boundaries and positive parenting.

Most boys in our program turn away from their self-destructive behavior to a desire for serving others. If your teenager needs order and discipline to put his life in order, please consider Gateway.

Although it is not located in Dover, Florida, Gateway could be the sort of environment your teen needs to generate a positive change. Please call or submit our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
