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 come to Shepherd’s Hill Academy from the east coast, south, midwest, western states and west coast, including from towns like Philadelphia.

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 teach teamwork. Being without TV, cell phones and other conveniences allows teens to contemplate deeper issues of life. The necessity of working together to meet simple daily needs calls for coping and teamwork strategies, compelling teens to consider their obligation to others.

The Residential Program is Next

Once the teens in our care demonstrate responsible decisions and take ownership of their development, they transfer to the residential program and move to a home on campus. This next step prepares them to transition into society as privileges and personal freedoms are restored.
