Therapeutic Boarding School

A Christ-Centered Therapeutic Boarding School

Shepherd’s Hill Academy is unapologetically Christ-centered, believing that a change of heart due to a relationship with Jesus is the only true and lasting change. We provide a first-rate education, individual 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, designed to eliminate distractions, build trust and teach teamwork. Living without technology and other conveniences leaves time to contemplate more meaningful issues of life. The necessity of collaborating to meet basic daily needs calls for coping and teamwork abilities, compelling teens to consider their obligation to others. As they observe staff and leaders who submit to God as the true 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 Aiken, South Carolina, We Offer a Well-Rounded Therapeutic Program and Accredited School

This next step gets them ready to transition into society as privileges and individual liberties are restored. Careful training of parents in our retreats also happens during this phase in readiness for the teen’s going home.

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