Mission statement
Chestnut Mountain Ranch will establish an academic environment to motivate the student to use his gifts and abilities for God's glory. (Prov. 22:6) Consistent encouragement, meaningful relationships and quality instruction will help the student and his family realize God's purpose in every aspect of their lives and equip them to make sound choices.
Chestnut Mountain Ranch (CMR) is located just 6 miles south of Morgantown, West Virginia on 225 beautiful acres. The Ranch is a Christ-centered safe haven for boys and families in crisis... a place for family restoration, where boys can enjoy school again, and all can experience positive family values.
We modeled CMR after the 25+ year program called Eagle Ranch. Located in Georgia, Eagle Ranch is nationally recognized as one of the best programs in the country, and has been featured on notable programs such as CNN News.
