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 arrive at Shepherd’s Hill Academy from all across the nation, including from Candler, North Carolina. Though it is a distance for some, parents find it constructive for their teenager to grow in a new environment detached 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 true and lasting change. We provide a first-rate education, person-to-person 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, intended to remove distractions, build trust and foster teamwork. Living without TV, cell phones and other conveniences leaves time to contemplate deeper issues of life. The necessity of working together to meet basic daily needs requires coping and teamwork abilities, pushing teens to consider their responsibility to others. As they observe staff and leaders who submit to God as the ultimate Authority, they find a reference point for themselves and can better relate to authority and to others.

For Parents Seeking a Therapeutic Boarding School in Candler, North Carolina, We Offer a Well-Rounded Therapeutic Program and Accredited School

After teens demonstrate responsible choices and take ownership of their growth, they transition to the residential program and live in a home on campus. This phase prepares them to transition into society as privileges and personal liberties are restored. Careful instruction of parents in our retreats also happens during this phase 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 instructors. We desire students to go on to college, so we incorporate test prep for the SAT and ACT as part of our regular curriculum.
