Need Help with a Wayward Son?  Though Not in Sylvester, Georgia, 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 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 designed to bring about change in a boy’s heart and life. When given the structure and order of a military academy, wayward teen boys soon turn into respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Sylvester, 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 each of the 50 states and internationally have changed the course of their lives at Gateway Boys Academy. We  serve teen boys from all around the nation, including from Sylvester, Georgia.

Our Compassionate Staff Teach Our Boarding School Students a Better Way to Live

Gateway Boys Academy serves teenage boys ages 11 to 17 who have made rebellious choices in life. Our military school is in the panhandle of Florida, and our school is reachable from Sylvester, Georgia 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. Many of our staff have been in your shoes, either having been through 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 cleanliness and chores give them structure and establish order in their lives.

At Gateway, boys begin to stop struggling against authority and begin to grow in confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive instead of their previously destructive activities. In time, they promote to higher levels, acquiring privileges and responsibilities as they move up. The senior level military school cadet is allowed to do off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through First-Rate Curriculum and Passionate Teachers. 

Most boys who were failing or falling behind not only get caught up but pull ahead. Gateway meets all qualifications by the State of Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they complete 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 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 strive to introduce every cadet to a relationship with Jesus Christ and strive to create a Godly atmosphere conducive to Christian growth. Students attend group Bible studies, go to chapel services 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. After four months of enrollment for the cadet, parents begin attending weekend conferences for teaching on boundaries and constructive parenting.

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