Need Help with a Wayward Son?  Though Not in Lynn Haven, 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, 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. Under the structure and discipline of a military academy, wayward teenage boys soon turn into respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Lynn Haven, 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 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 Lynn Haven, Florida.

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

Gateway Boys Academy serves teenage boys ages 11 to 17 who have chosen a dangerous path in life. Our military school is situated in the panhandle of Florida, and our school is reachable from Lynn Haven, Florida 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. Many of our staff have been in your shoes, either having completed 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 start in our basic training platoon with the supervision of drill instructors. For the initial 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 begin to gain confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive instead of their previously destructive activities. In time, 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 First-Rate Curriculum and Certified Teachers. 

Most boys who have been failing or falling behind not just get up to date but get ahead. Gateway meets all qualifications by Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they complete our academic program. Our academy operates year-round as students work at their own speed 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

We emphasize spiritual life at Gateway Boys Academy. We offer to every cadet a relationship with Jesus Christ and strive to maintain a Godly atmosphere conducive to Christian growth. Young men attend group Bible studies, go to chapel two times a week, and spend time with a counselor to discuss individually assigned Bible studies designed for character growth.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway Boys Academy, we concentrate on family restoration. After four months of enrollment for the cadet, parents begin attending weekend conferences for training about boundaries and positive parenting.

Most boys in our program turn away from their self-destructive behavior to an attitude of serving others. If your teenage boy needs order and discipline to put his life in order, please consider Gateway.
