Need HELP WITH A BOY THAT IS FAILING IN SCHOOL AND LIFE?  Though Not in Marco Island, Florida, 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 are 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. When given the structure and order of a military academy, wayward teen boys soon become respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Marco Island, Florida, 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 found a change of heart at Gateway Boys Academy. We  accept boys from around the country, including from Marco Island, Florida.

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

Gateway Boys Academy serves teenagers ages 11 to 17 who have chosen a dangerous path in life. Our military school is in the panhandle of Florida, and our campus is accessible from Marco Island, Florida and cities around the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we commit to demonstrating the love of God to every cadet, surrounding him with compassionate care. A few of our staff have been in your shoes, either having completed a similar program themselves or having enrolled a son of their own in our military school in the past.

Boys are Transformed through Gateway Boys Academy

Students start in our basic training platoon beneath the supervision of drill instructors. For the first months, physical training, a packed schedule, attention to neatness and chores surround them with structure and establish order in their lives.

At Gateway, boys learn to stop struggling against authority and begin to gain confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive as opposed to their previously destructive activities. Over time, they promote to higher levels, acquiring privileges and responsibilities along the way. The highest level student is eligible for off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through First-Rate Curriculum and Passionate Teachers. 

Most teens who had been failing or falling behind not only get up to date but pull ahead. We meet all established by Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas at the completion of our academic program. Our school operates year-round as students study at their own pace 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

We emphasize spiritual life at Gateway Boys Academy. We strive to introduce every cadet to a relationship with Jesus Christ and strive to keep a Godly atmosphere encouraging to Christian growth. Boys attend group Bible studies, go to chapel services twice a week, and meet with a counselor for individually assigned Bible studies intended for character development.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway, we focus on family restoration. Four months after the cadet enrolls, parents begin attending weekend seminars for teaching on boundaries and positive 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 change his direction, please consider Gateway.

Although it is not located in Marco Island, Florida, Gateway can be the type of environment your teen needs to produce a positive change. We invite you to call or fill in our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
