Need HELP WITH A BOY THAT IS FAILING IN SCHOOL AND LIFE?  Though Not in Fort Myers Beach, Florida, 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 unlike any 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 designed 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 turn into respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Fort Myers 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 every state and internationally have put their lives back on track at Gateway Boys Academy. We  accept boys from all around the nation, including from Fort Myers Beach, Florida.

Our Friendly 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 school is reachable from Fort Myers Beach, Florida and cities around the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we commit to demonstrating the love of God to every single cadet, surrounding him with compassionate care. Several of our staff have been in your shoes, either having completed a similar program themselves or having enrolled a child of their own in our military school in the past.

Boys are Transformed through Gateway Boys Academy

Boys start 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 provide them with 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 instead of their previously destructive activities. Eventually, they promote to higher levels, gaining privileges and responsibilities as they move up. The trusted students are able to do off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through High-Quality Curriculum and Passionate Teachers. 

Most students who had been failing or falling behind not just catch up but pull ahead. Gateway meets all standards [set by Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they graduate our academic program. Classes run all year-round as students work at their own speed through high-quality 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 Spiritual Relationship, Direction, and Purpose In Life

Spiritual life forms a large part of life at Gateway Boys Academy. We offer to every cadet a relationship with Jesus Christ and strive to establish a Godly atmosphere favorable to Christian growth. Young men attend group Bible studies, go to chapel services twice each week, and work with a counselor to discuss individually assigned Bible studies designed for character development.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway, we focus on family restoration. After four months of enrollment for the cadet, parents begin attending weekend events for teaching on boundaries and effective parenting.

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

Although it is not located in Fort Myers Beach, Florida, Gateway could be the kind of environment your son needs to produce a positive change. Please call or fill in our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
