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

Teens attend Shepherd’s Hill Academy from all across the country, including from Ambler, Pennsylvania.

A Christ-Centered Therapeutic Boarding School

Shepherd’s Hill Academy is unapologetically Christ-centered, believing that transformation due to a relationship with Jesus is the only genuine and lasting change. We provide 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 choices.

Getting Started on the Right Foot — Our Wilderness Program

The first phase of life at Shepherd’s Hill Academy is a wilderness program, intended to remove distractions, build trust and foster teamwork. Being without electronics and other conveniences gives teens an opportunity to contemplate more meaningful issues of life. The necessity of collaborating to meet simple daily needs requires coping and teamwork abilities, compelling teens to consider how their contribution impacts 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 Ambler, Pennsylvania, We Offer a Well-Rounded Therapeutic Program and Accredited School

After a time, when teens demonstrate responsible choices and take ownership of their growth, they shift to the residential program and move to a home on campus. This next step prepares them to transition into society as privileges and individual freedoms are restored. Careful training of parents in our retreats also happens during this phase in preparation for the teen’s return home.

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