About the School
- Cookson Hills Christian Ministries has been serving the needs of Children since 1957 by providing a quality, home living environment and an excellent Christian education.
- We see each child as an individual and work together with the parents and the courts if necessary to provide the very best structure possible.
- Cookson Hills provides homes for children from ages birth through 18 or graduation from high school.
- Older Children (12 and over) must realize their need for placement as perceived by their parents or the court.
- They must be willing to cooperate as a part of our program.
- Our child care program is successful, in part, because of the inclusion of staff children in the homes and in the schools.
- Therefore, pictures in our publications may include both staff and placed children.
- The child care program at Cookson Hills Christian Ministries was founded to minister to children and families in need of out-of-home long term care.
