Our Mission:

Accreditation:
Cherokee Creek Boys School is fully accredited by the Southern Associations of Colleges and Schools (SACS).

Our Program:
The Cherokee Creek program is devoted to helping students gain personal insight — to reconnect with those powerful, loving, creative, wise parts of themselves that have become hidden or lost. This journey of self-discovery unfolds for our students as they explore the PATH — an acronym for the four core areas of our program:

- P - Personal enrichment
- A - Academics
- T - Therapy
- H - Health and recreation

Our Students:
Our students are great kids with very real challenges. By the time boys reach Cherokee Creek, family relationships are often strained and the home environment may be in chaos.

Many of our students are unaware, unwilling or incapable of recognizing the negative impact that their actions have on themselves, their families and those around them.

Our students will begin a new journey at CCBS and will continue their journey with expanded insight and new tools as they graduate and return home. Our students come to us with many challenges including, but not limited to:

Clinical Diagnoses:
- Attention Deficit Disorder
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Oppositional / Defiant Behavior
