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 around the country, including from Georgetown, South Carolina. Though it is a distance for some, parents find it beneficial for their teenager to spend time 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 genuine and lasting change. We provide a first-rate education, person-to-person 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 early part of enrollment at Shepherd’s Hill Academy is a wilderness program, designed to get rid of distractions, build trust and encourage teamwork. Removing TV, cell phones and other conveniences gives teens an opportunity to contemplate more meaningful issues of life. The necessity of working together to meet basic daily needs requires coping and teamwork strategies, compelling teens to consider how their contribution impacts others. As they watch staff and leaders who submit to God as the true 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 Georgetown, South Carolina, We Offer a Well-Rounded Therapeutic Program and Accredited School

Once teens consistently make responsible choices and take ownership of their growth, they shift to the residential program and move to a home on campus. This phase prepares them to transition into society as privileges and personal freedoms are restored. Careful coaching of parents in our retreats also takes place during this period in preparation 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, taught by Georgia certified instructors. We encourage students to attend college, so we incorporate test prep for the SAT and ACT as part of our regular curriculum.
