Meet Boys Farm
Boys Farm is a distinguished, award-winning residential program that has served at-risk boys for over 65 years. Located in Newberry, South Carolina, the program provides a nurturing, family-style environment across three residential homes. Each residence is designed to foster a sense of belonging, emotional healing, and personal growth. The program offers a comprehensive suite of developmental initiatives, including:
● Character and Responsibility
● Recreation and Athletics
● Pathways to Independence
● Adventures in Academics
● Agricultural and Environmental Education
● Reins of Hope (the newest addition)
In response to concerns about negative influences in local public schools, Boys Farm sought an alternative educational solution that would better support the boys’ academic and personal development. As a result, 14 students from Boys Farm were enrolled in Cyber Academy for the second semester of the 2024–2025 academic year.
