Need Help with a Wayward Son?  Though Not in Gray, Georgia, 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 unlike any other. We include 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 designed 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 become respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Gray, Georgia, You Can Set the Stage for a New Start and a New Direction for Your Boy by Having Him Spend Time Here

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

Gateway Boys Academy serves young men 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 Gray, Georgia and cities throughout the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we believe in demonstrating the love of God to each and every cadet, 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 child of their own in our military school in the past.

Boys are Transformed through Gateway Boys Academy

Students start in our basic training platoon under the supervision of drill instructors. For the initial months, physical training, a packed schedule, attention to neatness and chores surround 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 as an alternative to their previously destructive activities. In time, they promote to higher levels, earning privileges and responsibilities as they move up. The upper level military school cadet is allowed to do off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through High-Quality Curriculum and Skilled Teachers. 

Most teens who were failing or falling behind not only catch up but pull ahead. We meet all established by the State of Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they complete our academic program. Our academy operates all year round as students work at their own pace 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

We emphasize spiritual life at Gateway Boys Academy. We strive to introduce every cadet to a relationship with Jesus Christ and strive to maintain a Godly atmosphere helpful to Christian growth. Young men attend group Bible studies, go to chapel services twice a week, and work with a counselor to pursue individually assigned Bible studies meant for character growth.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway Boys Academy, we concentrate 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 turn his life around, please consider Gateway.

Although it is not located in Gray, Georgia, Gateway can be the type of environment your son needs to generate a positive change. Please call or fill out our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
