Cherry Gulch is unique in the field of therapeutic schools. We have placed all our core classes in the Monday through Thursday schedule which gives us flexibility on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays to go on weekend trips. Therapy takes place as life unfolds but we also have 10 hours of scheduled therapy per week which is not necessarily listed on the scheduled. Some of the planned activities are experiential therapies like equine assisted psychotherapy initiatives and therapeutic games or recreation therapy. Students generally have the opportunity to ride horses three times a week but some students will choose other activities instead.
