Therapeutic Boarding School

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, 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 life at Shepherd’s Hill Academy is a wilderness program, intended to eliminate distractions, build trust and teach teamwork. Being without TV, cell phones and other conveniences leaves time to contemplate more meaningful issues of life. The necessity of collaborating to meet simple daily needs requires coping and teamwork abilities, giving teens good reason to consider their obligation to others. As they observe 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 Florence, South Carolina, 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 training of parents in our retreats also happens during this phase in preparation for the teen’s return home.

During both parts of the program, the teens receive regular counseling and are enrolled in our on-campus, fully accredited junior and senior high school, staffed with Georgia certified instructors. We desire students to continue their studies in college, so we incorporate test prep for the SAT and ACT as part of our regular curriculum.
