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 genuine 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 decisions.

Getting Started on the Right Foot — Our Wilderness Program

The early part of enrollment at Shepherd’s Hill Academy is a wilderness program, carefully planned to remove distractions, build trust and encourage teamwork. Being without electronics and other conveniences gives teens an opportunity to contemplate more meaningful issues of life. The necessity of cooperating to meet basic daily needs demands coping and teamwork strategies, 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 learn a reference point for themselves and can more appropriately relate to authority and to others.

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.

More about boarding schools in or near Johns Island, South Carolina:
Johns Island, also spelled John’s Island, is the largest island in the U.S. State of South Carolina. It is one of the many Sea Islands along the coast of the state. Originally a farming community, the island’s history dates back centuries as the site of several prominent plantations, producing much of the area’s rice, indigo, and cotton exports. While farming still exists today, the island has transformed into a wealthy suburb of Charleston, roughly 15 minutes from downtown. Despite the change, the island has maintained its rural character and heritage, and several restaurants and stores reflect the local culture and lowcountry flair. During the American Revolution and Civil War there were many skirmishes and battles on the island including the Battle at Rosebank Farms and the Battle of Bloody Bridge, also known as Burden’s Creek.
