Treasure Coast Boys Academy cares for 50 teenage boys at our residential boarding school located on 30 acres surrounded by ranch and orchard country. In the course of our program, we focus on character, integrity, hard work, and respect. We create an environment of positive peer pressure. We give boys responsibility for work projects and special events on campus to keep them involved in what is their home away from home. We want to see young men mature in their faith in Christ, and we provide worship, chapel services, bible studies, discipleship, retreats and mission trip opportunities to support that growth. Boys also challenge and encourage each other in their faith. Would any of that happen in a military school or boot camp? That’s unlikely.
