Welcome to the Cherokee Creek Boys School two-part blog … featuring helpful resources and information … and a behind-the-scenes look at life on our CCBS campus.
CCBS is a learning community 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 provides families and boys with support, information, ideas and inspiration from our CCBS team … as well as from experts and resources … that help us all continue to learn and grow.
