Why Choose Shepherd’s Hill Academy?
Located two hours away from Marietta in northeast Georgia, the distance to our boarding school for troubled teens works in your favor. Your teen will be far enough removed from the bad situations and negative influences that trigger destructive behavior, giving them the chance to live life without such distractions.
In addition, Shepherd’s Hill Academy bases their counseling and program structure on a Christ-based philosophy. We believe that as teens learn about and willingly develop a relationship with Jesus Christ, they can work toward permanent and positive changes in their hearts and minds. This Christian focus, along with our very effective programs, has helped hundreds of teens develop a sense of personal responsibility, self-confidence, and a desire to serve others.
Troubled Teen Programs
Teen participants move through several main programs, including the initial Outdoor Wilderness Residential Program where girls and boys live in separate rustic cabins while learning to work as part of a team. At the successful completion of this first phase, teens can qualify to move to our Next Step program of living in on-campus housing and working to earn specific freedoms and privileges.
During all phases of these programs, teens attend academic courses in our on-campus, fully accredited academy. Here, students can earn credits toward middle and high school graduation. Our certified teachers instruct in small group and one-on-one settings the Georgia Department of Education core curriculum as well as elective courses in sports, art, and vocational technology. Students can also complete college prep courses, including prep for the ACT and SAT tests.
Additional programs include our equine therapy program and therapeutic components such as group, individual, and family sessions for the adolescent
