The Best Tools of Wilderness Programs and Therapeutic Boarding Schools On Our Georgia Campus

Shepherd’s Hill Academy, located in northeast Georgia, is a hybrid between a therapeutic wilderness program and a boarding school with counseling. Teens come to Shepherd’s Hill Academy from all around the country, including from Hurricane, West Virginia. Though it is a distance for some, parents find it beneficial for their teenager to spend time in a new environment separate from their local peer group.

A Christ-Centered Therapeutic Boarding School

Shepherd’s Hill Academy is unashamedly Christ-centered, believing that a change of heart due to a relationship with Jesus is the only real and lasting change. We provide a first-rate education, individual 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 a stay at Shepherd’s Hill Academy is a wilderness program, carefully planned to eliminate 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 demands coping and teamwork strategies, compelling teens to consider their responsibility to others. As they watch 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 Hurricane, West Virginia, 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 live in a home on campus. This next step gets them ready to transition into society as privileges and personal liberties are restored. Careful instruction of parents in our retreats also occurs 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, staffed with Georgia certified instructors. We encourage students to attend college, so we incorporate test prep for the SAT and ACT as part of our ordinary curriculum.
