Looking for a Christian boarding school near Cartersville, Georgia?

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

We invite you to discover Shepherd’s Hill Academy, which is relatively close by. For a generation, Shepherd’s Hill Academy has been guiding troubled boys and girls, helping them get back on track. We’ve helped hundreds of teens from around the country from families just like yours.

Shepherd’s Hill Academy believes that transformation due to a relationship with Jesus is the only genuine and lasting change. We provide a first-rate education, person-to-person mentoring and counseling, equine therapy, and teamwork exercises to help teens develop 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, combines the best aspects of a therapeutic wilderness program and a Christian boarding school with several forms of therapy, including counseling and equine therapy. Teens come to Shepherd’s Hill Academy from the east coast, south, midwest, western states and west coast, including from towns like Cartersville.

The Wilderness Program is the First Phase

The first phase of enrollment at Shepherd’s Hill Academy is a wilderness program, carefully planned to remove distractions, build trust and teach teamwork. Being without technology and other conveniences leaves time to contemplate deeper issues of life. The necessity of cooperating to meet simple daily needs calls for coping and teamwork strategies, compelling teens to consider how their contribution impacts others.

The Residential Program is Next

After a time, when teens consistently make responsible choices and take ownership of their development, they shift to the residential program and move to a home on campus. This next step gets them ready to transition into society as privileges and individual liberties are restored.
