Need Help with a Wayward Son?  Though Not in Madison, 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 like no other. We have a military academy, an accredited school, and 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 teenage boys soon turn into respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Madison, Georgia, You Can Set the Stage for a New Start and a New Direction for Your Boy by Having Him Come to Gateway

Over 1000 boys from each of the 50 states and internationally have turned their lives around at Gateway Boys Academy. We  accept boys from across the country, including from Madison, Georgia.

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

Gateway Boys Academy serves boys ages 11 to 17 who have chosen a dangerous path in life. Our military school is in the panhandle of Florida, and our school is accessible from Madison, Georgia and cities throughout 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. Many of our staff have been in your situation, either having been through a similar program themselves or having enrolled a son of their own in our military school in the past.

Boys are Transformed through Our Military School

Students begin in our basic training platoon with the supervision of drill instructors. For the initial few months, physical exercise, a packed schedule, attention to cleanliness and chores surround them with structure and establish order in their lives.

At Gateway, boys begin 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, earning privileges and responsibilities as they move up. The trusted students are allowed to do off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through High-Quality Curriculum and Certified Teachers. 

Most boys who were failing or falling behind not just get caught up but get ahead. Gateway meets all requirements by Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they complete our academic program. Our school operates all year long as students study at their own speed through top-notch 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 things are important at Gateway Boys Academy. We strive to introduce every cadet to 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 services twice each week, and work with a counselor to pursue individually assigned Bible studies intended for character growth.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway Boys Academy, we concentrate on family restoration. After four months, parents begin attending weekend events to learn about boundaries and constructive parenting.

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

Although it is not located in Madison, Georgia, Gateway may be the sort of environment your boy needs to create a positive change. Please call or fill out our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
