Need Help with a Wayward Son?  Though Not in Ray City, 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 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 meant to bring about change in a boy’s heart and life. Similar to the structure and order of a military school, at Gateway wayward teen boys soon become respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Ray City, 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 every state and internationally have found a change of heart at Gateway Boys Academy. We  accept teen boys from across the country, including from Ray City, Georgia.

Our Compassionate Staff Teach Our Students a Better Way to Live

Gateway Boys Academy serves young men ages 11 to 17 who have made rebellious choices in life. Our military school is in the panhandle of Florida, and our campus is reachable from Ray City, Georgia and cities across the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we believe in demonstrating the love of God to each student, 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 child of their own in our military school in the past.

Boys are Transformed through our Christian Military School

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

At Gateway, boys realize they can stop struggling against authority and start to get confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive as an alternative to their previously destructive activities. Over time, they promote to higher levels, gaining privileges and responsibilities as they move up. The highest level student is allowed to do off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through First-Rate Curriculum and Skilled Teachers. 

Most teens who had been failing or falling behind not only get caught up but pull ahead. Gateway meets all qualifications by Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas at the completion of our academic program. Our academy operates year-round as students study at their own pace 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 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 each week, and meet with a counselor to discuss individually assigned Bible studies meant to build character.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway, we focus on family restoration. Four months after the cadet enrolls, parents begin attending weekend conferences for teaching on boundaries and effective parenting.

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

Although it is not located in Ray City, Georgia, Gateway can be the kind of environment your son needs to create a change for the better. Please call or submit our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
