(Cherokee Creek Boys School ) is an American therapeutic boarding school for boys located at 198 Cooper Road, Westminster, South Carolina, United States. Cherokee Creek Boys School was founded by Beth and Ron Black after their own family’s experience with a struggling son. The school is a place where struggling middle-school boys receive assistance from licensed therapists and qualified counselors to help them address specific physical, academic, emotional, and social skill needs for each student. Students that come to Cherokee Creek Boys School are typically challenged with one of the following: Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD/ADHD), Autism, Asperger's Syndrome, depression, anxiety, defiant behavior, under-developed social skills, or learning disabilities. The staff at Cherokee Creek Boys School employ four core areas within the program: Personal Enrichment (ex. league sports, guitar lessons, martial arts), Academics (ex. Individual Education Plans and special academic services), Therapetic Services (ex. individual and group therapy, group counseling, crisis intervention and family therapy), and Health/Recreation (ex. swimming, hiking, boating, horseback riding, and camping). Cherokee Creek Boys School was recently designated a Gurian Model School by Michael Gurian, New York Times bestselling author, educator and expert in the development of boys. Concerning the school, Gurian said: "There are so many boys who need an environment like this. Boys need movement to keep their brains active, and Cherokee Creek certainly provides this in the classroom and through their sports and trekking program. The staff acts as mentors and the character curriculum, rites of passage activities and community service are all important in helping boys find their purpose." Cherokee Creek has been fully accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) since 2005, and is licensed by the state of South Carolina. The school is also a member of the National Association of Therapeutic Schools and Programs (NATSAP). ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cherokee Creek Boys School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
