The early part of a stay at Shepherd’s Hill Academy is a wilderness program, designed to get rid of distractions, build trust and teach teamwork. Removing electricity and other conveniences allows teens to contemplate more meaningful issues of life. The necessity of cooperating to meet simple daily needs demands coping and teamwork skills, giving teens good reason to consider their obligation 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 Franklin, 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 individual freedoms are restored. Careful training of parents in our retreats also takes place during this phase in readiness 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 instructors. We desire students to attend college, so we incorporate test prep for the SAT and ACT as part of our regular curriculum.
