Need HELP WITH A BOY THAT IS FAILING IN SCHOOL AND LIFE?  Though Not in Madison, 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 like no 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 become respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Madison, 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 each of the 50 states and internationally have changed the course of their lives at Gateway Boys Academy. We  accept boys from across the country, including from Madison, Florida.

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

Gateway Boys Academy serves teenagers ages 11 to 17 who have gone off-track with life. Our military school is in the panhandle of Florida, and our school is accessible from Madison, Florida and cities throughout the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we commit to demonstrating the love of God to each student, 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 child of their own in our military school in the past.

Boys are Transformed through Our Military School

Teens start in our basic training platoon with the supervision of drill instructors. For the first few months, physical exercise, a packed schedule, attention to cleanliness and chores give them 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, obtaining privileges and responsibilities in the process. The upper level military school cadet is able to do 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 caught up but pull ahead. Gateway meets all established by Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they complete our academic program. Our school operates all year round as students study at their own speed through high-quality 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 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 Jesus and strive to create a Godly atmosphere helpful to Christian growth. Students attend group Bible studies, go to chapel services twice weekly, and work with a counselor to pursue individually assigned Bible studies intended to build character.

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 constructive parenting.

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

Although it is not located in Madison, Florida, Gateway can be the type of environment your boy needs to produce a change for the better. Please call or complete our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
