Therapeutic Boarding School

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 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 early part of life at Shepherd’s Hill Academy is a wilderness program, intended to eliminate distractions, build trust and encourage teamwork. Being without electricity and other conveniences leaves time to contemplate more meaningful issues of life. The necessity of collaborating to meet basic daily needs requires coping and teamwork strategies, giving teens good reason to consider how their contribution impacts 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 Gloucester, Virginia, We Offer a Well-Rounded Therapeutic Program and Accredited School

This phase prepares them to transition into society as privileges and individual liberties are restored. Careful coaching of parents in our retreats also happens 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 instructors. We desire students to go on to college, so we incorporate test prep for the SAT and ACT as part of our ordinary curriculum.
