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 around the country, including from Radford, Virginia. Though it is a distance for some, parents find it constructive 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 real and lasting change. We provide 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 first phase of life at Shepherd’s Hill Academy is a wilderness program, carefully planned to eliminate distractions, build trust and encourage teamwork. Living without TV, cell phones and other conveniences allows teens to contemplate more meaningful issues of life. The necessity of working together to meet basic daily needs involves coping and teamwork abilities, compelling teens to consider how their contribution impacts others. As they watch staff and leaders who submit to God as the true Authority, they learn a reference point for themselves and can better relate to authority and to others.

For Parents Seeking a Therapeutic Boarding School in Radford, Virginia, We Offer a Well-Rounded Therapeutic Program and Accredited School

Once teens consistently make responsible choices and take ownership of their development, they shift to the residential program and move to a home on campus. This next step prepares them to transition into society as privileges and personal freedoms are restored. Careful instruction of parents in our retreats also happens during this step in readiness for the teen’s going home.

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