“Hi this is Ravi Zacharias it really is such an honor to come along side even for a little while here with Shepherd’s Hill Academy and the License To Parent program. You know as I travel around and look at the world of youth, I remember talking to someone in the entertainment world once said that their entire target audience was the 18 year old, and typically the 18 year old male. The influence they reel in with the culture of their friends is enormous, and the entertainment world is targeting that particular type individual to get their message across you can imagine what havoc that reaps on that individual’s life. So a ministry like this that is involved in reaching such person for all that is true and good and beautiful for the cause of God, or to rescue those who have been seduced along the way, I cannot again say how important this is to get behind a ministry like this (SHA). One will find the rewards to be extremely powerful in changing society. I wish them all the best.”- Dr. Ravi Zacharias Founder and chairman of the Board of Ravi Zacharias International Ministries, host of the radio programs Let My People Think and Just Thinking, and visiting professor at Wycliffe Hall of Oxford

“Many kids live in a virtual world. Psychologists today are calling the overuse of technology by our youth “Cyber-Heist.” It is actually re-wiring the brains of our children. I am very impressed with Shepherd’s Hill how they take the scientific discoveries of the over stimuli seriously and recognize the effects on the brains and minds of our youth. Shepherd’s Hill addresses the cause and not just the symptoms in adolescence diagnosed with disorders such as ADD or ADHD; whereas the use of medication to mask the symptoms robs them of their childhood. Treatment to reprogram their brains has to take place over a longer period of time and in a changed environment. The brain needs time and change away from the addictive technological environment to become reprogrammed. To reverse the damage caused by an over stimuli of the digital world, our children need to be re-educated, re-experience life by removing them from digital technology for a season to discover the outside real world we live in. Shepherd’s Hill provides this environment for children to heal.” - Dr. Archibald Hart, FPPR, Senior Professor of Psychology and Dean Emeritus, Department of Clinical Psychology at Fuller University, Author of Sleep: It Does a Family Good and Thrilled to Death

“It’s a digital universe out there and children need to experience real life like they do at Shepherd’s Hill where they can have face to face conversations and be in the presence of God. Shepherd’s Hill is a door that helps children free up “God Space” in their minds, have meditation – times to think, ponder and experience God and real life meaningful connections.” - Dr. Sylvia Hart Frejd, Director of “Flourish” In-Life Coach Training, specializing in Christian Counseling, and Leadership/Spiritual Formation

“Shepherd’s Hill Academy has many strengths from the biblical perspective. I believe in Shepherd’s Hill Academy, because it does four things in particular all at the same time: First, it helps children with a high level of control, external control, and provides structure for them. Second, it gives them a high amount of love and identity. Third, it takes them away from their typical cues they are experiencing back at home or in another environment. And fourth, Shepherd’s Hill Academy includes the Bible in the process, so that children are being transformed at a heart level and not just dealing with their behavior.” - Dr. Scott Turansky, respected author and co-founder of the National Center for Biblical Parenting

“Shepherd’s Hill Academy is a wonderful opportunity for the ministry of the gospel of Jesus Christ, which is the reconciliation of our young people to God, reformation of life, and the ministry of the Spirit of God radically changing their lives. By the grace of God, this is what happens at Shepherd’s Hill Academy. I praise God.” - Kevin Swanson, Author, Conference Speaker, Founder & President of Generations with Vision and Host of Generations Radio
