Looking for a Christian boarding school near Williamson, Georgia?

Have you been struggling with a rebellious or unruly teen in your family? Has your troubled boy or girl been expelled from school, or gotten into trouble with the law? 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 teens.

We invite you to discover Shepherd’s Hill Academy, which is relatively close by. For a generation, 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 genuine and lasting change. We provide a first-rate education, individual mentoring and counseling, equine therapy, and teamwork exercises to help teens develop 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, 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 Williamson.

The Wilderness Program is the First Phase

The early part of life at Shepherd’s Hill Academy is a wilderness program, carefully planned to get rid of distractions, build trust and foster teamwork. Removing electricity and other conveniences leaves time to contemplate deeper issues of life. The necessity of cooperating to meet basic daily needs involves coping and teamwork strategies, compelling teens to consider their obligation to others.

The Residential Program is Next

After a time, when teens consistently make responsible decisions and take ownership of their growth, they shift to the residential program and live in a home on campus. This next step prepares them to transition into society as privileges and individual freedoms are restored.
