Therapeutic Boarding School

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 choices.

Getting Started on the Right Foot — Our Wilderness Program

The first phase of a stay at Shepherd’s Hill Academy is a wilderness program, intended to get rid of distractions, build trust and encourage teamwork. Removing TV, cell phones and other conveniences leaves time to contemplate more meaningful issues of life. The necessity of collaborating to meet basic daily needs requires coping and teamwork abilities, giving teens good reason to consider how their contribution impacts others. As they watch 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 Burlington, North Carolina, We Offer a Well-Rounded Therapeutic Program and Accredited School

This next step gets them ready to transition into society as privileges and personal liberties are restored. Careful training of parents in our retreats also happens during this period in preparation for the teen’s return home.

During both phases 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 attend college, so we include test prep for the SAT and ACT as part of our regular curriculum.
