Campus residents attend Crossnore Academy, the charter school on campus. Weekdays in the Belk Dining Hall, breakfast and lunches are served and weekend meals are in the cottages. Recreational activities, travel and student work opportunities abound.

Crossnore offers programs of service that address varying levels and stages of need:

:: Assessment: Residents come into care on short notice, sometimes in the middle of the night.  Due to problems within the home including neglect, abuse, parental problems, and others,  a separation from the adults in their home has been recommended. Short Term Care establishes a safe, secure, stable environment for the child. This program is time limited to approximately 90 days. If the home situation is not stabilized, then the child has easy access to a longer term program at Crossnore.

:: Stepping Stones Program- Program for mature residents who have made enough progress toward independence to live with minimal supervision. Residents have jobs and their own transportation. Stepping Stones eases them safely to independence, helping them make correct decisions to move them to that important next step.

:: Journeys of Hope Program - The purpose of the Journeys of Hope program at The Crossnore School is to guide and develop residents in their character, educational life, cognitive skills, sense of responsibility, respect, planning ability, emotional ability, and future goals. All residents admitted into the Journeys of Hope program enter The Crossnore School’s long term care.

:: Adoption Program The Crossnore School received expanded licensure from the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services to implement its Adoption Placement Program. The program was designed specifically to address the needs both of children whose parental rights have been terminated and potentially adoptive parents. The program's mission is to make the adoption process more efficient, effective and ultimately successful; its vision is to lead the state in connecting real children to real families.

:: Additional Crossnore Services Offered:

• Therapeutic Foster Care
• Outpatient Therapy
• Equine Assisted Therapy

Keeping Sibling Groups Together One of Crossnore School's operating principles is to keep sibling groups together. Too often, when children are removed from their home,siblings are sent to different placements, depending on their age and need. Crossnore School makes every effort to be able to meet the needs of every child in a sibling group so that they may stay together.
