Looking for a Christian boarding school near Brandon, Mississippi?

Have you been struggling with an angry or unruly teen in your family? Has your troubled teen been expelled from school, or gotten into trouble with the law? Do you fear for their safety? As a result, you may be looking into residential care options; such as boots camps, a therapeutic boarding school or a wilderness program for troubled teens.

We invite you to check out Shepherd’s Hill Academy, which is relatively close by. For over two decades, Shepherd’s Hill Academy has been helping troubled boys and girls, helping them get back on track. We’ve helped hundreds of teens from around the country from homes just like yours.

Shepherd’s Hill Academy believes that a change of heart due to a relationship with Jesus is the only real 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.

A Hybrid Between a Wilderness Program and a Boarding School, with a Christian Emphasis

Shepherd’s Hill Academy, located in northeast Georgia about 2 hours from Atlanta, is a blend of a therapeutic wilderness program and a Christian boarding school with several forms of therapy, including counseling and equine therapy. Teens attend Shepherd’s Hill Academy from the east coast, south, midwest, western states and west coast, including from towns like Brandon.

The Wilderness Program is the First Phase

The first phase of life at Shepherd’s Hill Academy is a wilderness program, intended to get rid of distractions, build trust and foster teamwork. Being without TV, cell phones and other conveniences allows teens to contemplate more meaningful issues of life. The necessity of collaborating to meet basic daily needs calls for coping and teamwork skills, giving teens good reason to consider their obligation to others.

The Residential Program is Next

After residents display responsible choices and take ownership of their development, they transfer to the residential program and move to a home on campus. This next step prepares them to transition into society as privileges and personal freedoms are restored.
