Need Help with Your Teenage Boy?  Though Not in Wrightsville, Georgia, 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 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 discipline of a military school, wayward teenage boys soon become respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Wrightsville, 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 all 50 states and internationally have changed the course of their lives at Gateway Boys Academy. We  enroll boys from across the country, including from Wrightsville, Georgia.

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

Gateway Boys Academy serves young men ages 11 to 17 who have gone off-track with life. Our campus is located in the panhandle of Florida, and our school is accessible from Wrightsville, Georgia and cities around the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we commit to demonstrating the love of God to each student, surrounding him with compassionate care. A few of our staff have been in your situation, 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

Teens begin at the lowest rung of our level system. For the initial few months, physical training, a packed schedule, attention to orderliness and chores give them structure and establish order in their lives.

At Gateway, boys figure out how to stop struggling against authority and start to get 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 allowed to do off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through Top-Notch Curriculum and Skilled Teachers. 

Most teens who have been failing or falling behind not just get up to date but get far ahead. We meet all requirements by Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they graduate our academic program. School takes place year-round as students study at their own speed 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 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 and strive to keep a Godly atmosphere conducive to Christian growth. Young men attend group Bible studies, go to chapel twice weekly, and meet with a counselor to pursue individually assigned Bible studies designed for character development.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway, we focus on family restoration. After four months, parents begin attending weekend conferences for teaching on boundaries and effective parenting.

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

Although it is not located in Wrightsville, Georgia, Gateway may be the kind of environment your teen needs to make a positive change. Please call or complete our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
