Gateway Boys Academy is a lower cost military school in West Florida like no other.

Though not in Wimauma, 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 every state and internationally have turned their lives around at Gateway Boys Academy. We  serve teen boys from around the country, including from Wimauma, Florida.

Our Understanding, 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 campus is located in the panhandle of Florida, and our school is accessible from Wimauma, Florida and cities throughout the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we focus on demonstrating the love of God to every cadet, surrounding him with compassionate care. Several of our staff have been in your situation, either having attended a similar program themselves or having enrolled a child of their own in our military school in the past.

Boys are Transformed through Gateway Boys Academy

Teens begin in our basic training platoon under the supervision of drill instructors. For the first months, physical training, a packed schedule, attention to neatness 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 get confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive as opposed to their previously destructive activities. Eventually, they promote to higher levels, acquiring privileges and responsibilities in the process. The trusted students are allowed to do off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through Top-Notch Curriculum and Skilled Teachers. 

Most students who have been failing or falling behind not just catch up but pull ahead. Gateway meets all standards [set by Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they graduate our academic program. Our academy operates all year round as students study at their own speed through top-notch curriculum and certified teachers. Our high standards allow students to transfer back 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 conducive to Christian growth. Students attend group Bible studies, go to chapel twice a week, and work with a counselor to pursue individually assigned Bible studies designed for character growth.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway Boys Academy, we promote family restoration. After four months, parents begin attending weekend conferences to learn about boundaries and effective parenting.

Most students in our program turn away from their self-destructive behavior to a lifetime 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 Wimauma, Florida, Gateway can be just the environment your boy needs to generate a positive change. Please call or fill in our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
