Cultivating Independent, Dynamic, Organized Learners
At Cherry Gulch, we believe that every student has the potential to excel. Our tailored educational programs encourage active self-regulation, perseverance, and curiosity. Boys with social delays often struggle with confidence and motivation, but our individualized attention helps them rediscover the joy of learning.

Developing Problem Solvers
Effective problem-solving requires reflective and purposeful decision-making, which can be particularly challenging for boys with social delays. At Cherry Gulch, we create an environment where students can practice and refine these skills through collaborative activities. Our curriculum integrates oral, written, kinesthetic, and mathematical activities to provide a well-rounded educational experience.
Students learn to work together to solve problems, drawing on data and feedback from various sources. This collaborative approach not only enhances their academic abilities but also builds their confidence in social interactions. As they become more adept at problem-solving, they naturally assume leadership roles in the classroom, guiding their peers and contributing to group success.
Fostering Effective Communication
Communication is a cornerstone of leadership, and at Cherry Gulch, we place a strong emphasis on developing these skills. Our students learn to express core concepts across diverse academic disciplines through both oral and written communication. This practice extends beyond academics, helping students navigate social norms within the school environment.
For boys with social delays, effective communication can be a significant hurdle. Our educators work diligently to create a supportive atmosphere where students feel safe to express themselves. Through structured activities and spontaneous interactions, students gain the confidence to share their thoughts and ideas. As they become more proficient communicators, they naturally emerge as leaders, capable of inspiring and guiding their peers.
