Looking for a Christian boarding school near Ludowici, Georgia?

Have you been struggling with an angry or unruly teen in your family? Has your troubled teen been expelled from school, or gotten into trouble with authorities? Do you worry about 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 teens.

We invite you to check out Shepherd’s Hill Academy, which is relatively close by. 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.

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 develop 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, 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 Ludowici.

The Wilderness Program is the First Phase

The early part of a stay at Shepherd’s Hill Academy is a wilderness program, intended to remove distractions, build trust and teach teamwork. Being without TV, cell phones and other conveniences allows teens to contemplate more meaningful issues of life. The necessity of cooperating to meet basic daily needs demands coping and teamwork strategies, giving teens good reason to consider how their contribution impacts others.

The Residential Program is Next

Once the teens in our care consistently make responsible choices and take ownership of their development, they transition 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.
