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

Shepherd’s Hill Academy, located in northeast Georgia, combines the best aspects of a therapeutic wilderness program and a boarding school with counseling. Teens come to Shepherd’s Hill Academy from all across the nation, including from Anchorage, Alaska. Though it is a distance for some, parents find it constructive for their teenager to spend time 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 genuine and lasting change. We offer a first-rate education, person-to-person mentoring and counseling, equine therapy, and teamwork exercises to help teens develop character and learn to make responsible decisions.

Getting Started on the Right Foot — Our Wilderness Program

The early part of life at Shepherd’s Hill Academy is a wilderness program, intended to remove distractions, build trust and encourage teamwork. Living without electricity and other conveniences allows teens to contemplate more meaningful issues of life. The necessity of cooperating to meet basic daily needs calls for coping and teamwork abilities, compelling teens to consider their responsibility 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 better relate to authority and to others.

For Parents Seeking a Therapeutic Boarding School in Anchorage, Alaska, 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 phase prepares them to transition into society as privileges and individual liberties are restored. Careful coaching of parents in our retreats also happens during this step in readiness for the teen’s return home.

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