Therapeutic Boarding School

A Christ-Centered Therapeutic Boarding School

Shepherd’s Hill Academy is unapologetically Christ-centered, believing that transformation 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 grow character and learn to make responsible decisions.

Getting Started on the Right Foot — Our Wilderness Program

The early part of life at Shepherd’s Hill Academy is a wilderness program, intended to eliminate distractions, build trust and teach teamwork. Being without TV, cell phones and other conveniences gives teens an opportunity to contemplate more meaningful issues of life. The necessity of cooperating to meet simple daily needs involves coping and teamwork skills, pushing teens to consider their responsibility 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.

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

This phase prepares them to transition into society as privileges and individual freedoms are restored. Careful training of parents in our retreats also happens during this period in preparation 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 teachers. We encourage students to continue their studies in college, so we include test prep for the SAT and ACT as part of our daily curriculum.
