Need HELP WITH A BOY THAT IS FAILING IN SCHOOL AND LIFE?  Though Not in Old Town, 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 unlike any 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 meant to bring about change in a boy’s heart and life. Within the structure and order of a military school, wayward teen boys soon turn into respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Old Town, 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 turned their lives around at Gateway Boys Academy. We  serve young men from across the nation, including from Old Town, Florida.

Our Understanding, Staff Teach Our Boarding School 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 in the panhandle of Florida, and our school is accessible from Old Town, Florida and cities around the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we believe in demonstrating the love of God to every single cadet, surrounding him with compassionate care. A number 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

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

At Gateway, boys begin to stop struggling against authority and begin to get confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive as opposed to their previously destructive activities. Eventually, they promote to higher levels, acquiring privileges and responsibilities in the process. The highest level student is able to do off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through First-Rate Curriculum and Skilled Teachers. 

Most boys who have been failing or falling behind not only get caught up 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. Our academy operates year-round as students study at their own pace through first-rate 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 Relationship with God, Direction and Purpose In Life

Spiritual things are important at Gateway Boys Academy. We offer to every cadet a relationship with Christ and strive to create a Godly atmosphere helpful to Christian growth. Boys attend group Bible studies, go to chapel twice weekly, and spend time with a counselor to pursue individually assigned Bible studies designed for character development.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway Boys Academy, we give attention to family restoration. After four months, 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 lifetime of serving others. If your teenage boy needs order and discipline to change his direction, please consider Gateway.

Although it is not located in Old Town, Florida, Gateway could be the kind of environment your teen needs to make a change for the better. Please call or fill in our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
