Looking for a Christian boarding school near Hohenwald, Tennessee?

Maybe you’ve been struggling with an angry or misbehaving 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 considering residential care options; such as boots camps, a therapeutic boarding school or a wilderness program for troubled teenagers.

We invite you to look into Shepherd’s Hill Academy, which is relatively close by. For a generation, 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 genuine and lasting change. We provide a first-rate education, one-on-one mentoring and counseling, equine therapy, and teamwork exercises to help teens build 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 attend Shepherd’s Hill Academy from the east coast, south, midwest, western states and west coast, including from towns like Hohenwald.

The Wilderness Program is the First Phase

The early part of enrollment at Shepherd’s Hill Academy is a wilderness program, carefully planned to remove distractions, build trust and foster teamwork. Living without electricity and other conveniences leaves time to contemplate deeper issues of life. The necessity of collaborating to meet simple daily needs demands coping and teamwork strategies, compelling teens to consider their responsibility to others.

The Residential Program is Next

Once the teens in our care display responsible choices 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 personal freedoms are restored.
