Need Help with Your Teenage Boy?  Though Not in Silver Springs, 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 unlike any 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. Within the structure and order of a military school, wayward teenage boys soon turn into respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

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

Our Friendly 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 situated in the panhandle of Florida, and our campus is accessible from Silver Springs, Florida and cities around 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. Several of our staff have been in your situation, either having been through a similar program themselves or having enrolled a child of their own in our military school in the past.

Boys are Transformed through Our Military School

Students start in our basic training platoon beneath the supervision of drill instructors. For the first few months, physical exercise, a packed schedule, attention to neatness 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 gain confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive rather than their previously destructive activities. Eventually, they promote to higher levels, earning privileges and responsibilities along the way. The trusted students are eligible for off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through Top-Notch Curriculum and Skilled Teachers. 

Most teens who had been failing or falling behind not just get up to date but get far ahead. Gateway meets all requirements by Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they complete our academic program. School takes place 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

Spiritual life forms a large part of life at Gateway Boys Academy. We strive to introduce every cadet to a relationship with Jesus Christ and strive to create a Godly atmosphere conducive to Christian growth. Young men attend group Bible studies, go to chapel twice a week, and work with a counselor to discuss individually assigned Bible studies designed for character growth.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway Boys Academy, we give attention to family restoration. Four months after the cadet enrolls, parents begin attending weekend events to learn about boundaries and constructive parenting.

Most students in our program turn from their self-destructive behavior to an attitude of serving others. If your teenage boy needs order and discipline to change his direction, please consider Gateway.

Although it is not located in Silver Springs, Florida, Gateway can be just the environment your boy needs to produce a positive change. We invite you to call or submit our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
