The Best Tools of Wilderness Programs and Therapeutic Boarding Schools On Our Martin, Georgia Campus

Shepherd’s Hill Academy, located in northeast Georgia, is a hybrid between a therapeutic wilderness program and a boarding school with counseling. Teens arrive at Shepherd’s Hill Academy from all across the country, including from Chestertown, Maryland. Though it may be a distance to travel, parents find it valuable for their teenager to spend time in a new environment separate from their local peer group.

A Christ-Centered Therapeutic Boarding School

Shepherd’s Hill Academy is unashamedly Christ-centered, believing that transformation due to a relationship with Jesus is the only true and lasting change. We provide a first-rate education, one-on-one mentoring and counseling, equine therapy, and teamwork exercises to help teens grow character and learn to make responsible choices.

Getting Started on the Right Foot — Our Wilderness Program

The early part of enrollment at Shepherd’s Hill Academy is a wilderness program, carefully planned to remove distractions, build trust and encourage teamwork. Being without electronics and other conveniences leaves time to contemplate more meaningful issues of life. The necessity of cooperating to meet basic daily needs calls for coping and teamwork abilities, compelling teens to consider how their contribution impacts others. As they watch staff and leaders who submit to God as the ultimate Authority, they find a reference point for themselves and can more appropriately relate to authority and to others.

For Parents Seeking a Therapeutic Boarding School in Chestertown, Maryland, We Offer a Well-Rounded Therapeutic Program and Accredited School

After a time, when teens consistently make responsible choices and take ownership of their development, they shift to the residential program and live in a home on campus. This phase gets them ready to transition into society as privileges and individual freedoms are restored. Careful training of parents in our retreats also happens during this step in preparation for the teen’s going home.

During both phases of the program, teens receive regular counseling and attend our on-campus, fully accredited junior and senior high school, taught by Georgia certified teachers. We desire students to go on to college, so we include test prep for the SAT and ACT as part of our regular curriculum.
