Cherokee Creek Boys School

Cherokee Creek Boys School (CCBS) is a year round therapeutic boarding school for 10- to 15-year old boys in grades 5 –10.

Founded in 2003, we’ve been helping boys and families for over 20 years by focusing on a combination of academics, character development, social interaction … and creating “a place where boys can be boys.”

Our Mission: We “challenge boys and their families to discover what is real and true about themselves and the world around them.” We help our students and their families rediscover a sense of hope and optimism for their future.

CCBS is licensed by the State of South Carolina, nationally accredited by The Joint Commission, Academically Accredited by Cognia, a member of The National Association of Therapeutic Schools and Programs (NATSAP), The Council of Parent Attorneys and Advocates (COPAA) and SEVIS Approved (able to serve international students with a student visa).
