Our Staff
CJH teachers are well-qualified, versatile, and dedicated. They hold a bachelor's degree, Georgia credentials, master's degrees, or a combination of the above listed credentials. With its therapeutic anchor, the CJH community is supportive and nurturing; because of this special aspect of the school, teachers' responsibilities and activities extend beyond typical classroom duties. In a typical day a student will not only have had a teacher for math or Lang. Arts class, but that teacher could also later be cheering them on in their basketball game-having earlier in the afternoon actively participated in treatment team decisions that address her progress in her therapeutic
Our Philosophy
We will continue to provide service in the following areas: academic and social. In addition, we will serve the scholars emotionally by providing therapy 3 days a week (group, individual and family).
This will afford us the opportunity to reach the core of the issues and ensure that the scholars are able to live a productive life when they leave the program.
Our History
Vashti Blackmon had an idea to start a summer enrichment program for the youth in 1980; the camp started out with humble beginnings servicing children from various parts of the country for 14 days and nights affording them an enriched summer experience.
After successfully serving the community for over 30 years in summer enrichment, we felt that it was time to expand the program and impact the community year around. Enter Jewell Hunter who was teaching in Clayton County Georgia, when she heard the call for an educational program that would be student-centered and data-driven.
