One of the Top Boys Boarding Schools
Our students are great kids with very real challenges. By the time boys reach Cherokee Creek Boarding School, 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 begin a journey of self-discovery at CCBS and will continue this life-long process with expanded insight and new tools as they graduate and return home.
We work with students, ages 10 – 15, grades 5 – 9, who struggle with one or more of the following:
Clinical Challenges
- Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD/ADHD)
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Oppositional / Defiant Behavior

Middle school boys have unique developmental needs. In addition to addressing the physical and academic nature of our 10 – 15 year old boys, we also focus on their emotional needs and social skills.
We help boys develop:
- Self-Esteem and Confidence
- Accountability and Responsibility
- Social Skills
- Strong and Respectful Relationships with Parents and Other Authority Figures
- Healthy Relationships with Siblings and Peers
- Academic Success
- Appropriate Outlets for Expressing Feelings
