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 hybrid between a therapeutic wilderness program and a boarding school with counseling. Teens attend Shepherd’s Hill Academy from all across the nation, including from Glenn Dale, Maryland. Though it may be a distance to travel, parents find it beneficial for their teenager to grow in a new environment separate from their local peer group.

A Christ-Centered Therapeutic Boarding School

Shepherd’s Hill Academy is unashamedly Christ-centered, believing that transformation 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 decisions.

Getting Started on the Right Foot — Our Wilderness Program

The early part of enrollment at Shepherd’s Hill Academy is a wilderness program, intended to remove distractions, build trust and teach teamwork. Living without TV, cell phones and other conveniences allows teens to contemplate more meaningful issues of life. The necessity of collaborating to meet simple daily needs demands coping and teamwork abilities, compelling teens to consider their obligation to others. As they watch staff and leaders who submit to God as the ultimate Authority, they learn a reference point for themselves and can better relate to authority and to others.

For Parents Seeking a Therapeutic Boarding School in Glenn Dale, Maryland, 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 transition to the residential program and move to a home on campus. This next step gets them ready to transition into society as privileges and individual freedoms are restored. Careful instruction of parents in our retreats also occurs during this period in readiness for the teen’s going home.

During both phases of the program, teens receive regular counseling and attend our on-campus, fully accredited junior and senior high school, staffed with Georgia certified teachers. We desire students to go on to college, so we include test prep for the SAT and ACT as part of our regular curriculum.
