The Best Tools of Wilderness Programs and Therapeutic Boarding Schools On Our Martin, Georgia Campus

Shepherd’s Hill Academy, located in northeast Georgia, is a blend between a therapeutic wilderness program and a boarding school with counseling. Teens attend Shepherd’s Hill Academy from all around the country, including from Clayton, Delaware. Though it may be a distance to travel, parents find it valuable for their teenager to spend time in a new environment away from their local peer group.

A Christ-Centered Therapeutic Boarding School

Shepherd’s Hill Academy is unashamedly Christ-centered, believing that a change of heart due to a relationship with Jesus is the only genuine and lasting change. We offer 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.

Getting Started on the Right Foot — Our Wilderness Program

The first phase of enrollment at Shepherd’s Hill Academy is a wilderness program, carefully planned to get rid of distractions, build trust and encourage teamwork. Being without technology and other conveniences gives teens an opportunity to contemplate deeper issues of life. The necessity of cooperating to meet basic daily needs demands coping and teamwork skills, giving teens good reason to consider their obligation to others. As they observe staff and leaders who submit to God as the ultimate Authority, they learn a reference point for themselves and can more appropriately relate to authority and to others.

For Parents Seeking a Therapeutic Boarding School in Clayton, Delaware, We Offer a Well-Rounded Therapeutic Program and Accredited School

After a time, when teens consistently make responsible decisions and take ownership of their development, 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 individual freedoms are restored. Careful coaching of parents in our retreats also takes place during this step in preparation for the teen’s return home.

During both parts of the program, teens receive regular counseling and attend our on-campus, fully accredited junior and senior high school, taught by Georgia certified instructors. We encourage students to continue their studies in college, so we incorporate test prep for the SAT and ACT as part of our ordinary curriculum.
