Fully Accredited Shepherd’s Hill Academy
Upon entry into Shepherd’s Hill Academy, a student’s class schedule is designed to meet his or her academic needs and to fulfill necessary requirements toward graduation in an appropriate time schedule. Our Educational Staff is composed of Georgia certified teachers. All of our students take the ASVAB test, which measures Verbal, Math and Science skills and assists us in proper student placement.
Shepherd’s Hill Academy is an accredited junior and senior high school facility. We are fully accredited by the Georgia Accrediting Commission. All courses are transferable and commensurate with the requirements of the State of Georgia. These courses are standards based and are listed on the Georgia Department of Education website.
We are also a member of Georgia Virtual School which is SACS CASI accredited, and allows us to offer more classes for our students. Students regularly transfer to and from outside the state of Georgia at various times of the school year. To keep parents informed, our teachers use the eGrade web-based application to maintain grade books and to share information with parents on their child’s academic progress. Shepherd’s Hill Academy is a member of the American Association of Christian Schools, and the Georgia Association of Christian Schools.
Our teachers and school principal encourage and coach our students to pursue college. This is why we offer Advanced Placement courses to our students. Since many of our graduates go on to college or technical school, college prep and SAT preps are within our daily curriculum. We also provide opportunities for our students to take the SAT or ACT as needed.
We are proud of our educational program, and our wilderness residential program overall. Our sports activities, field trips, swimming pool, game room, equine program, accountability groups, music room, and chapel, are just a few of the fun and wholesome activities available to bring joy and excitement to the discipleship and learning experience for our students.
All in all, Shepherd’s Hill Academy embodies the qualities necessary to transform trouble teens into productive, caring, and spiritually mature young men and women. With God’s help, we strive to bring about the necessary behavioral changes in struggling teens to become responsible and fruitful citizens who know how to think!
