Looking for a Christian boarding school near Holly Springs, Mississippi?

Have you been having difficulty with an angry or misbehaving teen in your home? Has your troubled teen been kicked out of school, or gotten into trouble with authorities?

We invite you to discover Shepherd’s Hill Academy, which is in Northeast Georgia. For 20 years, 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 homes just like yours.

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 come to Shepherd’s Hill Academy from the east coast, south, midwest, western states and west coast, including from towns like Holly Springs.

The Wilderness Program is the First Phase

The first phase of enrollment at Shepherd’s Hill Academy is a wilderness program, designed to remove distractions, build trust and encourage teamwork. Being without electricity and other conveniences allows teens to contemplate deeper issues of life. The necessity of working together to meet simple daily needs involves coping and teamwork strategies, 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 transition to the residential program and live in a home on campus. This next step gets them ready to transition into society as privileges and personal liberties are restored.
