Need Help with a Wayward Son?  Though Not in Vidalia, 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 unlike any other. We have a military academy, 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 designed to bring about change in a boy’s heart and life. Under the structure and order of a military academy, wayward teen boys soon turn into respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Vidalia, Georgia, 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 every state and internationally have changed the course of their lives at Gateway Boys Academy. We  serve boys from across the nation, including from Vidalia, Georgia.

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

Gateway Boys Academy serves teenagers ages 11 to 17 who have made rebellious choices in life. Our military school is in the panhandle of Florida, and our academy is reachable from Vidalia, Georgia and cities around the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we believe in demonstrating the love of God to each and every 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 teen of their own in our military school in the past.

Boys are Transformed through Our Military School

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

At Gateway, boys realize they can stop struggling against authority and begin to grow in confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive instead of their previously destructive activities. Over time, they promote to higher levels, earning privileges and responsibilities along the way. The highest level student is able 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 just catch up but pull ahead. Gateway meets all requirements by the State of Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they graduate our academic program. Our school operates all year long as students work at their own pace through high-quality 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

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 conducive to Christian growth. Students attend group Bible studies, go to chapel twice weekly, and work 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 of enrollment for the cadet, parents begin attending weekend seminars for teaching on boundaries and positive parenting.

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