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

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

Gateway Boys Academy serves young men ages 11 to 17 who have gone off-track with life. Our military school is situated in the panhandle of Florida, and our facility is accessible from Myakka City, Florida and cities throughout the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we focus on demonstrating the love of God to every single cadet, surrounding him with compassionate care. A few of our staff have been in your place, either having attended a similar program themselves or having enrolled a teen of their own in our military school in the past.

Boys are Transformed through our Christian Military School

Students begin at the bottom rung of our level system. For the initial few months, physical exercise, a packed schedule, attention to orderliness and chores surround them with structure and establish order in their lives.

At Gateway, boys figure out how to stop struggling against authority and begin to grow in confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive as opposed to their previously destructive activities. In time, they promote to higher levels, obtaining privileges and responsibilities as they move up. The upper level military school cadet is eligible for off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through High-Quality Curriculum and Skilled Teachers. 

Most boys who had been failing or falling behind not only get up to date but pull ahead. We meet all qualifications by the State of Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they graduate our academic program. Classes run year-round 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 Relationship with God, Direction and Purpose In Life

Spiritual things are important at Gateway Boys Academy. We offer to every cadet a relationship with Jesus Christ and strive to maintain a Godly atmosphere helpful to Christian growth. Students attend group Bible studies, go to chapel services twice a week, and meet with a counselor to discuss individually assigned Bible studies meant for character growth.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway, we focus on family restoration. Four months after the cadet enrolls, parents begin attending weekend events for training 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 change his direction, please consider Gateway.
