Shepherd’s Hill Academy Programs
The unique rural location of Shepherd’s Hill Academy offers us the ability to establish and maintain a structured biblical- based, loving but authoritative wilderness environment. The location also offers us the ability to develop programs and an academic curriculum essential in developing character. For more detailed information on the programs we offer, click on the links below.
 New Creation Wilderness Program: The 20-acre wilderness setting resides a 1/4 mile from the Shepherd’s Hill Academy main campus. The entire New Creations Wilderness Program structure is able to create, establish, and maintain a healthy, structured, loving authoritative community which promotes life changing opportunity for every enrolled student. With this unique setting we are also able to create an atmosphere in which all negative cultural influences are removed and team collaboration is essential. It offers kids the opportunity to contemplate the more meaningful things of life. |
 Next Step Residential Program: The Next Step Program is the ”Next Step” between the New Creations Wilderness Program and the teen’s transition back into their home. The Next Step Program is earned by demonstration of positive behavioral changes, and a privilege students strive for. Activities are designed and implemented to challenge students to retain the character development they have acquired from the Wilderness program. We also place a clear emphasis on strengthening and developing a confident discipleship with Christ, and the relationship with their family. |
 Shepherd’s Hill Academy: Residents attend our on-campus fully accredited Jr. & Sr. High School which follows the standards of the Georgia Department of Education. Upon receiving your child’s transcripts he/she can continue his/her academic studies. The ASVAB test is administered to decipher each student’s academic need and placement. We also offer Advanced Placement courses, and the SAT or ACT tests to help students prepare for college. Within Shepherds Hill Academy, we remain congruent with our philosophy of maintaining a Christ centered environment. |
 Equine Program: Our beautiful 86-acre campus is home to 30 horses. Our program instructors are certified by the Equine Assisted Growth and Learning Association – (EAGALA) and O.K. Corral for Equine Assisted Psychotherapy. Upon enrollment each student may choose a horse and spend the year developing a relationship with this horse. This allows for very unique therapeutic activities such as anger management, problem solving skills, developing and reaching goals, spiritual growth, and personal responsibility. |
