Getting Started on the Right Foot — Our Wilderness Program

The first phase of enrollment at Shepherd’s Hill Academy is a wilderness program, designed to remove distractions, build trust and foster teamwork. Living without technology and other conveniences gives teens an opportunity to contemplate more meaningful issues of life. The necessity of working together 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 better relate to authority and to others.

This phase prepares them to transition into society as privileges and personal liberties are restored. Careful training of parents in our retreats also occurs during this step in preparation for the teen’s going 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 continue their studies in college, so we include test prep for the SAT and ACT as part of our ordinary curriculum.
