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 country, including from Brooklyn, Maryland. Though it is a distance for some, parents find it constructive 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 unapologetically Christ-centered, believing that a change of heart due to a relationship with Jesus is the only real and lasting change. We provide a first-rate education, individual 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 early part of a stay at Shepherd’s Hill Academy is a wilderness program, carefully planned to get rid of distractions, build trust and foster teamwork. Being without technology and other conveniences allows teens to contemplate more meaningful issues of life. The necessity of working together to meet basic daily needs requires coping and teamwork abilities, giving teens good reason 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 Brooklyn, Maryland, We Offer a Well-Rounded Therapeutic Program and Accredited School

After teens display responsible choices and take ownership of their growth, they transfer to the residential program and live in a home on campus. This phase prepares them to transition into society as privileges and individual freedoms are restored. Careful instruction of parents in our retreats also happens during this period in preparation for the teen’s going 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, taught by Georgia certified instructors. We desire students to go on to college, so we include test prep for the SAT and ACT as part of our daily curriculum.
