Getting Started on the Right Foot — Our Wilderness Program

The early part of a stay at Shepherd’s Hill Academy is a wilderness program, intended to eliminate distractions, build trust and foster teamwork. Living without electronics and other conveniences allows teens to contemplate more meaningful issues of life. The necessity of collaborating to meet simple daily needs demands coping and teamwork abilities, giving teens good reason to consider their obligation 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 Matthews, North Carolina, We Offer a Well-Rounded Therapeutic Program and Accredited School

After a time, when teens demonstrate responsible decisions and take ownership of their development, they transfer to the residential program and move to a home on campus. This phase gets them ready to transition into society as privileges and personal freedoms are restored. Careful training of parents in our retreats also takes place during this step in readiness for the teen’s going 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 encourage students to continue their studies in college, so we incorporate test prep for the SAT and ACT as part of our ordinary curriculum.
