CCBS Blog
— All Things CCBS —
Welcome to The Cherokee Creek Boys School Blog.
CCBS is a learning community, that is dedicated to helping boys (ages 10 – 15, in grades 5 through 10) and their families discover what is real and true about themselves and the world around them. Our blog supports families and boys with information, ideas and inspiration from our team, as well as from experts and resources that help us all keep learning and growing together.
CCBS Blogger / BOTO the Bear
P.S. I am the CCBS Mascot and Blogger! My name (BOTO) is short for an important lesson that we teach – a reminder to all of us – that to keep growing and learning, we always need to “Be Open To Outcome”.

DISCOVERING WHAT’S REAL and TRUE
At Cherokee Creek, our character-development curriculum is the foundation for each student’s and family’s journey. At the core of the curriculum is a model based on the values of Courage, Truth, Love and Wisdom. We call it the Medicine Wheel. This area of our blog will bring these values to life through stories, interviews and articles.
