SHA is 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 hybrid between 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 Dania.

The Wilderness Program is the First Phase

The first phase of a stay at Shepherd’s Hill Academy is a wilderness program, intended to get rid of distractions, build trust and teach teamwork. Removing electricity and other conveniences allows teens to contemplate deeper issues of life. The necessity of cooperating to meet simple daily needs involves coping and teamwork abilities, giving teens good reason to consider their obligation to others.

The Residential Program is Next

After a time, when teens demonstrate responsible decisions and take ownership of their growth, they transfer 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.

A Christian Boarding School Along with Therapy and Counseling

During both parts of the program, teens are enrolled in our on-campus, fully accredited junior and senior high school, staffed with Georgia certified teachers. We desire students to get caught up and to also prepare for college, so we also include test prep for the SAT and ACT as part of our regular curriculum.

Troubled teens are helped with the skills needed to become more confident, productive and respectful at home, school, and in the community. We provide a state accredited junior and senior high school on campus. Our unique combination of a wilderness program, certified equine program, and first-class school is all designed to bring focus back into a child’s life. We also utilize accountability groups, individual behavioral and family counseling.
