Therapeutic Boarding School

A Christ-Centered Therapeutic Boarding School

Shepherd’s Hill Academy is unashamedly 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, one-on-one 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 life at Shepherd’s Hill Academy is a wilderness program, carefully planned to get rid of distractions, build trust and foster teamwork. Removing electricity and other conveniences gives teens an opportunity to contemplate deeper issues of life. The necessity of collaborating to meet simple daily needs requires coping and teamwork skills, pushing teens to consider their obligation to 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 Burke, Virginia, We Offer a Well-Rounded Therapeutic Program and Accredited School

This phase gets them ready to transition into society as privileges and individual freedoms are restored. Careful instruction of parents in our retreats also occurs during this period in readiness 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, staffed with Georgia certified teachers. We encourage students to go on to college, so we incorporate test prep for the SAT and ACT as part of our daily curriculum.
