Our Understanding, 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 military school is in the panhandle of Florida, and our academy is reachable from Zolfo Springs, Florida 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 place, 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 start in our basic training platoon under the supervision of drill instructors. For the initial months, physical training, a packed schedule, attention to cleanliness and chores give them structure and establish order in their lives.

At Gateway, boys learn to stop struggling against authority and begin to increase in confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive as an alternative to their previously destructive activities. Over time, they promote to higher levels, acquiring privileges and responsibilities in the process. The senior behavioral level student is eligible for off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through First-Rate Curriculum and Passionate Teachers. 

Most boys who have been failing or falling behind not only catch up but get ahead. We meet all standards [set by Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they graduate our academic program. Our academy operates year-round as students work 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

We emphasize spiritual life at Gateway Boys Academy. We offer to every cadet a relationship with Jesus Christ and strive to keep a Godly atmosphere favorable to Christian growth. Students attend group Bible studies, go to chapel twice weekly, and spend time with a counselor for individually assigned Bible studies designed to build character.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway Boys Academy, we concentrate on family restoration. After four months, parents begin attending weekend seminars for training about boundaries and constructive parenting.

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

Although not located in Zolfo Springs, Florida, Gateway may be the kind of environment your son needs to produce a positive change. Please call or fill out our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
