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 arrive at Shepherd’s Hill Academy from the east coast, south, midwest, western states and west coast, including from towns like Lexington Park.

The Wilderness Program is the First Phase

The first phase of life at Shepherd’s Hill Academy is a wilderness program, intended to remove distractions, build trust and encourage teamwork. Living without TV, cell phones and other conveniences leaves time to contemplate more meaningful issues of life. The necessity of cooperating to meet simple daily needs calls for coping and teamwork abilities, pushing teens to consider their responsibility to others.

The Residential Program is Next

After residents consistently make responsible choices 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 personal liberties are restored.
