Therapeutic Boarding School Provides Serious Help for Troubled Teens
How does this help your teen heal and change? Without the clutter of today’s cultural and media distractions, our Unplugged Experiential Living program allows your child to explore and discover life’s deeper issues. This back-to-nature experience improves critical, constructive, and creative thinking capacities and promotes a genuine sense of identity, accomplishment, and a renewed desire to learn. We also focus on helping your son or daughter build a relationship with God for true heart change. Our team of loving and caring Christian counselors and professionals never force their faith, but they gently demonstrate it in all they do and say.
After completing the majority of the residential outdoor wilderness program, and if accepted, Shepherds Hill students are eligible to transfer to a house on campus and into our structured Next Step program. Here, they are allowed more individual freedom, are allowed to make more decisions, and are given domestic responsibilities. They also have the chance to earn back some outside world privileges, such as television or video games.
Fully Accredited On-Campus Education
After enrollment at Shepherds Hill, our principal and faculty work with you and your teen to design a classroom schedule that will meet academic goals. A plan will be developed to help your son or daughter advance in areas where he or she may have fallen behind. Our academy offers a wide variety of courses, but if we are unable to provide a needed class, we provide Georgia Virtual School, a program that offers Advanced Placement classes; college preparatory, career and technical courses; and other electives to enhance their learning experience.
