We are a Christ-centered therapeutic boarding school for troubled boys and girls ages 12-17.
Shepherd’s Hill Academy provides a comprehensive approach to healing and recovery from any of the addictive and behavioral issues that can affect youth today. The success of the programs at Shepherd’s Hill Academy is due to the preeminence of a Christian-Boarding School approach. This Christ-centered therapeutic approach has proven to bring hope, healing, and transformation to the lives of families in crisis using a safe and secure authoritative community model
Your teen will transform as they experience the therapeutic value of nature through our structured, but rustic environment.
The science of psychology and experience have demonstrated the therapeutic value of nature and the great outdoors. Spending significant time in an unplugged environment works wonders on a teenager’s critical, constructive, and creative thinking skills. These skills are too often lost in today’s toxic culture and digitally-addicted age. Getting away from these influences in a positive, calming natural environment helps promote healing. The residential component of SHA is a therapeutic environment that offers a simple living experience free of the overstimulation and distractions that affect their daily lives.
