Treasure Coast Boys Academy enrolls 50 teenage boys at our residential boarding school on a 30-acre parcel in ranch and orchard country. Over our program, we work to develop character, integrity, hard work, and respect. We promote a culture of positive peer pressure. We give boys ownership in work projects and chapel services on campus to keep them engaged in what is their home away from home. We desire to see residents mature in their faith in Christ, and we offer worship, chapel services, bible studies, discipleship, retreats and mission trip opportunities toward that end. Residents also challenge and support each other in their faith. Would any of that happen in a military school or boot camp? That’s unlikely.

We place a strong emphasis on mentorship, providing the boys with positive male role models during their enrollment with us.
