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 attend Shepherd’s Hill Academy from all across the country, including from Lancaster, South Carolina. Though it is a distance for some, parents find it constructive 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 unapologetically Christ-centered, believing that a change of heart due to a relationship with Jesus is the only true and lasting change. We offer 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 a stay at Shepherd’s Hill Academy is a wilderness program, carefully planned to eliminate distractions, build trust and teach teamwork. Living without electricity and other conveniences leaves time to contemplate more meaningful issues of life. The necessity of cooperating to meet basic daily needs requires coping and teamwork skills, compelling teens to consider their responsibility to others. As they watch 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.

For Parents Seeking a Therapeutic Boarding School in Lancaster, South Carolina, We Offer a Well-Rounded Therapeutic Program and Accredited School

Once teens display responsible choices and take ownership of their growth, they transition to the residential program and move to a home on campus. This phase prepares them to transition into society as privileges and individual liberties are restored. Careful instruction of parents in our retreats also happens during this phase in preparation for the teen’s return home.

During both parts 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 teachers. We encourage students to go on to college, so we include test prep for the SAT and ACT as part of our regular curriculum.
