Need Help with Your Teenage Boy?  Though Not in Metter, Georgia, Would You Consider 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 meant 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 Metter, Georgia, You Can Set the Stage for a New Start and a New Direction for Your Boy by Having Him Spend Time Here

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

Gateway Boys Academy serves boys ages 11 to 17 who have made rebellious choices in life. Our military school is in the panhandle of Florida, and our facility is accessible from Metter, Georgia and cities around the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we focus on demonstrating the love of God to each and every cadet, surrounding him with compassionate care. Many of our staff have been in your place, either having attended 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 at the bottom rung of our level system. For the first months, physical exercise, a packed schedule, attention to orderliness 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 increase in confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive instead of their previously destructive activities. Over time, they promote to higher levels, gaining 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 teens who had been failing or falling behind not just catch up but get far ahead. We meet all standards [set by the State of Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they graduate our academic program. School takes place all year long as students study at their own speed through high-quality 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 strive to introduce every cadet to a relationship with Jesus and strive to create a Godly atmosphere encouraging to Christian growth. Students attend group Bible studies, go to chapel services twice each week, and meet with a counselor to pursue individually assigned Bible studies meant to build character.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

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

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