Looking for a Christian boarding school near Rockville, Maryland?

Have you been having difficulty with an angry or unruly teen in your home? Has your troubled boy or girl been expelled from school, or gotten into trouble with authorities? Do you fear for 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 teenagers.

We invite you to look into 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 real and lasting change. We offer a first-rate education, person-to-person mentoring and counseling, equine therapy, and teamwork exercises to help teens build 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 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.
