Cherry Gulch is a ranch style therapeutic boarding school designed specifically for 10 to 14 year old boys. Some of our boys turn 15 while with us.
We are located on over 200 acres of beautiful land outside of Boise Idaho.
Our services are appropriate for boys with various difficulties including oppositional-defiance, ADHD, learning differences, low self-esteem, poor motivation, anger, family conflict, adoption, anxiety, depression and other behavioral and emotional problems.
Every experience is educational and therapeutic in a fun purposeful environment.
We strive to offer the most effective therapeutic strategies into daily life.
We offer at 10-15 hours of scheduled therapeutic services a week but much more therapy takes place as life unfolds as therapeutic moments arise.
Our goal is to provide early intervention and prevention to help these boys reach their full potential and to become well-rounded pro-social young men.
We are dedicated to providing outstanding academic and therapeutic services to students and their families in the context of a safe, supportive environment.
Our family is incredibly grateful for the services this school offered while we were in a desperate season struggling as a family! Thank you so much!!!

Since attending Cherry Gulch, my son has grown into someone who knows who they are and their place in our family. They've learned to express their opinions respectfully and handle disagreements with integrity. Once full of anger, they now show kindness and care for others like never before.
