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 country, including from Columbia, South Carolina. Though it is a distance for some, parents find it beneficial 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 develop character and learn to make responsible choices.

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 foster teamwork. Removing electronics and other conveniences allows teens to contemplate more meaningful issues of life. The necessity of cooperating to meet simple daily needs involves coping and teamwork abilities, giving teens good reason to consider their responsibility 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 Columbia, South Carolina, We Offer a Well-Rounded Therapeutic Program and Accredited School

After a time, when teens demonstrate responsible choices and take ownership of their development, they transfer to the residential program and move to a home on campus. This phase prepares them to transition into society as privileges and individual liberties are restored. Careful coaching of parents in our retreats also occurs during this phase in readiness for the teen’s return home.

During both phases 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 teachers. We encourage students to attend college, so we include test prep for the SAT and ACT as part of our ordinary curriculum.
