Looking for a Christian boarding school near Mount Airy, North Carolina?

Have you been struggling with an angry or unruly teen in your family? Has your troubled boy or girl been kicked out of school, or gotten into trouble with the law? Do you worry about their safety? As a result, you may be looking into residential care options; such as boots camps, a therapeutic boarding school or a wilderness program for troubled teens.

We invite you to look into Shepherd’s Hill Academy, which is relatively close by. For 20 years, Shepherd’s Hill Academy has been helping 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 transformation due to a relationship with Jesus is the only true and lasting change. We provide a first-rate education, person-to-person mentoring and counseling, equine therapy, and teamwork exercises to help teens grow character and learn to make responsible decisions.

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, combines the best aspects 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 Mount Airy.

The Wilderness Program is the First Phase

The early part of life at Shepherd’s Hill Academy is a wilderness program, designed to eliminate distractions, build trust and teach teamwork. Living without TV, cell phones and other conveniences gives teens an opportunity to contemplate more meaningful issues of life. The necessity of cooperating to meet simple daily needs demands coping and teamwork skills, pushing teens to consider how their contribution impacts others.

The Residential Program is Next

Once the teens in our care demonstrate responsible decisions and take ownership of their growth, they transfer 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.
