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 arrive at Shepherd’s Hill Academy from all across the nation, including from Powhatan, Virginia. Though it is a distance for some, parents find it valuable for their teenager to spend time in a new environment detached from their local peer group.

A Christ-Centered Therapeutic Boarding School

Shepherd’s Hill Academy is unashamedly Christ-centered, believing that transformation due to a relationship with Jesus is the only true and lasting change. We provide 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 first phase of enrollment at Shepherd’s Hill Academy is a wilderness program, intended to remove distractions, build trust and foster teamwork. Being without electronics and other conveniences allows teens to contemplate more meaningful issues of life. The necessity of cooperating to meet simple daily needs requires coping and teamwork skills, giving teens good reason 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 Powhatan, Virginia, We Offer a Well-Rounded Therapeutic Program and Accredited School

After a time, when teens display responsible choices and take ownership of their development, they transition to the residential program and live in a home on campus. This phase prepares them to transition into society as privileges and personal freedoms are restored. Careful coaching of parents in our retreats also takes place during this period in preparation for the teen’s going home.

During both phases of 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 attend college, so we include test prep for the SAT and ACT as part of our regular curriculum.
