Need Help with Your Teenage Boy?  Though Not in Tavernier, Florida, Would You Consider Gateway Christian Military School in Florida Instead?

Gateway Boys Academy is a lower cost military school in West Florida unlike any other. We include an accredited school, as well as 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. Under the structure and discipline of a military school, wayward teen boys soon turn into respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Tavernier, Florida, 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 put their lives back on track at Gateway Boys Academy. We  enroll young men from across the nation, including from Tavernier, Florida.

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

Gateway Boys Academy serves teenage boys ages 11 to 17 who have chosen a dangerous path in life. Our military school is in the panhandle of Florida, and our campus is reachable from Tavernier, 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 place, either having been through a similar program themselves or having enrolled a teen of their own in our military school in the past.

Boys are Transformed through Our Military School

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

At Gateway, boys realize they can stop struggling against authority and begin to gain confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive as opposed to their previously destructive activities. In time, they promote to higher levels, gaining privileges and responsibilities as they move up. The trusted students are allowed to do off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through Top-Notch Curriculum and Certified Teachers. 

Most boys who had been failing or falling behind not just catch up but get ahead. We meet all established by the State of Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas at the completion of our academic program. Our academy operates all year round as students study at their own pace through top-notch curriculum and certified teachers. Our high standards allow transfers 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 life forms a large part of life at Gateway Boys Academy. We strive to introduce every cadet to a relationship with Jesus and strive to create a Godly atmosphere favorable to Christian growth. Students attend group Bible studies, go to chapel twice weekly, and meet with a counselor to complete individually assigned Bible studies intended for character development.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway, we focus on family restoration. After four months, parents begin attending weekend seminars for training about boundaries and positive parenting.

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

Although it is not located in Tavernier, Florida, Gateway may be the type of environment your son needs to create a positive change. Please call or submit our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
