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

The Wilderness Program is the First Phase

The early part of a stay at Shepherd’s Hill Academy is a wilderness program, intended to get rid of distractions, build trust and foster teamwork. Removing TV, cell phones and other conveniences leaves time to contemplate deeper issues of life. The necessity of working together to meet simple daily needs involves coping and teamwork skills, giving teens good reason to consider their obligation to others.

The Residential Program is Next

After residents display responsible choices and take ownership of their development, they transfer 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.
