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

Shepherd’s Hill Academy, located in northeast Georgia, is a hybrid between a therapeutic wilderness program and a boarding school with counseling. Teens come to Shepherd’s Hill Academy from all around the country, including from Newberry, South Carolina. Though it is a distance for some, parents find it valuable for their teenager to grow 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 genuine and lasting change. We offer a first-rate education, person-to-person mentoring and counseling, equine therapy, and teamwork exercises to help teens develop character and learn to make responsible choices.

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 remove distractions, build trust and foster teamwork. Being without technology and other conveniences gives teens an opportunity to contemplate deeper issues of life. The necessity of working together to meet basic daily needs demands coping and teamwork skills, compelling teens to consider how their contribution impacts 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 Newberry, South Carolina, We Offer a Well-Rounded Therapeutic Program and Accredited School

Once teens demonstrate responsible choices and take ownership of their development, they transfer 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 training of parents in our retreats also occurs during this phase in preparation for the teen’s going home.

All throughout the program, the teens receive regular counseling and attend 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 ordinary curriculum.
