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 Live Oak.

The Wilderness Program is the First Phase

The first phase of enrollment at Shepherd’s Hill Academy is a wilderness program, carefully planned to remove distractions, build trust and encourage teamwork. Removing electronics and other conveniences leaves time to contemplate more meaningful issues of life. The necessity of cooperating to meet basic daily needs requires coping and teamwork skills, pushing teens to consider their responsibility to others.

The Residential Program is Next

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

We also utilize accountability groups, individual behavioral and family sessions for the adolescent.
