The Best Tools of Wilderness Programs and Therapeutic Boarding Schools On Our 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 come to Shepherd’s Hill Academy from all across the country, including from Asheville, North Carolina. Though it is a distance for some, parents find it advantageous for their teenager to experience a new environment detached from their local peer group.

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 real and lasting change. We offer a first-rate education, one-on-one 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 first phase of life at Shepherd’s Hill Academy is a wilderness program, designed to eliminate distractions, build trust and encourage teamwork. Removing electricity and other conveniences leaves time to contemplate deeper issues of life. The necessity of cooperating to meet simple daily needs demands coping and teamwork skills, compelling teens to consider their obligation to others. As they watch 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 Asheville, North Carolina, We Offer a Well-Rounded Therapeutic Program and Accredited School

After a time, when teens demonstrate responsible decisions and take ownership of their growth, they transition to the residential program and live in a home on campus. This next step gets them ready to transition into society as privileges and personal liberties are restored. Careful instruction of parents in our retreats also occurs during this step in readiness for the teen’s going home.

All throughout the program, the teens receive regular counseling and are enrolled in our on-campus, fully accredited junior and senior high school, taught by Georgia certified teachers. We encourage students to attend college, so we incorporate test prep for the SAT and ACT as part of our daily curriculum.
