All of these are designed to bring about change in a boy’s heart and life. With the structure and order of a military academy, wayward teenage boys soon turn into respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

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

Gateway Boys Academy serves boys ages 11 to 17 who have made rebellious choices in life. Our military school is situated in the panhandle of Florida, and our campus is accessible from Lake Park, Georgia and cities across the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we believe in demonstrating the love of God to every cadet, surrounding him with compassionate care. Several of our staff have been in your situation, either having attended a similar program themselves or having enrolled a teen of their own in our military school in the past.

Boys are Transformed through Our Military School

Boys begin at the lowest rung of our level system. For the first few months, physical exercise, a packed schedule, attention to orderliness and chores give them 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 an alternative to their previously destructive activities. Over time, they promote to higher levels, earning privileges and responsibilities along the way. The trusted students are permitted to participate in off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through Top-Notch Curriculum and Certified Teachers. 

Most teens who were failing or falling behind not only get caught up but pull ahead. Gateway meets all qualifications 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 first-rate curriculum and certified teachers. Our high standards allow credits to transfer 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 Christ and strive to keep a Godly atmosphere helpful 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 Boys Academy, we promote family restoration. Four months after the cadet enrolls, parents begin attending weekend seminars for training about boundaries and effective parenting.

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

Although not located in Lake Park, Georgia, Gateway may be the type of environment your teen needs to produce a positive change. Please call or fill out our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
