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

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 real and lasting change.

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. Being without TV, cell phones and other conveniences leaves time to contemplate deeper issues of life. The necessity of working together to meet simple daily needs involves coping and teamwork skills, giving teens good reason to consider how their contribution impacts 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 Irmo, South Carolina, We Offer a Well-Rounded Therapeutic Program and Accredited School

Once teens display responsible choices and take ownership of their development, they transfer to the residential program and move to a home on campus. This next step gets them ready to transition into society as privileges and personal freedoms are restored. Careful coaching of parents in our retreats also occurs during this period in readiness for the teen’s return home.

All throughout 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 go on to college, so we incorporate test prep for the SAT and ACT as part of our regular curriculum.
