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 blend 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 Kathleen.

The Wilderness Program is the First Phase

The early part of a stay 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 working together to meet simple daily needs demands coping and teamwork abilities, giving teens good reason to consider their obligation to others.

The Residential Program is Next

After a time, when teens display responsible decisions and take ownership of their development, they transition to the residential program and move to a home on campus. This phase prepares them to transition into society as privileges and individual freedoms are restored.

A Christian Boarding School Along with Therapy and Counseling

All throughout the program, teens are enrolled in our on-campus, fully accredited junior and senior high school, taught by Georgia certified instructors. We encourage 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 ordinary curriculum.

Misbehaving teens are helped with the skills needed to become more confident, productive and respectful at home, school, and in the community. We provide a fully accredited junior and senior high school on campus. Our unique combination of wilderness therapy, 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 sessions for the adolescent.

Students who come to our school from all over the country, including Kathleen, Georgia and enrollment is year-round. Call us at (706) 703-4188 or visit the rest of this site to learn more.
