Need Help with Your Teenage Boy?  Though Not in Lakeland, Georgia, 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 like no 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. Within the structure and order of a military academy, wayward teen boys soon become respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Lakeland, 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 all 50 states and internationally have put their lives back on track at Gateway Boys Academy. We  enroll teen boys from all around the nation, including from Lakeland, Georgia.

Our Compassionate Staff Teach Our Students a Better Way to Live

Gateway Boys Academy serves young men ages 11 to 17 who have made rebellious choices in life. Our military school is in the panhandle of Florida, and our school is reachable from Lakeland, Georgia and cities around the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we focus on demonstrating the love of God to each student, surrounding him with compassionate care. A few of our staff have been in your shoes, either having been through a similar program themselves or having enrolled a teen of their own in our military school in the past.

Boys are Transformed through Gateway Boys Academy

Teens begin in our basic training platoon under the supervision of drill instructors. For the first months, physical exercise, a packed schedule, attention to cleanliness and chores give them structure and establish order in their lives.

At Gateway, boys figure out how to stop struggling against authority and start to gain confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive as an alternative to their previously destructive activities. Eventually, they promote to higher levels, gaining privileges and responsibilities in the process. The trusted students are able to do off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through High-Quality Curriculum and Passionate Teachers. 

Most boys who have been failing or falling behind not just get caught up but get far ahead. Gateway meets all requirements 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 study at their own speed 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 Relationship with God, Direction and Purpose In Life

Spiritual things are important 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. Students attend group Bible studies, go to chapel services twice weekly, and spend time with a counselor to complete individually assigned Bible studies intended for character development.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway Boys Academy, we give attention to family restoration. Four months after the cadet enrolls, parents begin attending weekend events for training about boundaries and constructive parenting.

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

Although not located in Lakeland, Georgia, Gateway can be just the environment your boy needs to generate a positive change. Please call or fill in our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
