Located on 220 acres outside of Boise Idaho, Cherry Gulch is a private, clinically-oriented, residential setting with a fully accredited school for boys 5th through 9th grade. Our picturesque ranch setting lends itself to our staff and students as we build relationships and work together to provide early behavior and academic intervention. Our goal is to serve our students to help them realize their full potential and foster healing and joy! We strive to build confidence and grow our students’ resiliency zones. Cherry Gulch combines an ideal environment with superior treatment programs. Our clinical expertise and academic resources allow us to serve students that haven’t experienced success in other programs, schools, or at home. Families find what they have been desperately searching for from the people and environment at Cherry Gulch.
We enroll families. This separates us from our competitors and illuminates our desire to not only work with the boy, but also the family.
