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 come to Shepherd’s Hill Academy from all around the country, including from Reading, Pennsylvania. Though it is a distance for some, parents find it constructive for their teenager to grow 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 a change of heart due to a relationship with Jesus is the only true and lasting change. We offer a first-rate education, one-on-one mentoring and counseling, equine therapy, and teamwork exercises to help teens build character and learn to make responsible decisions.

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 remove distractions, build trust and foster teamwork. Being without TV, cell phones and other conveniences allows teens to contemplate more meaningful issues of life. The necessity of working together to meet simple daily needs demands coping and teamwork abilities, giving teens good reason to consider how their contribution impacts others. As they observe staff and leaders who submit to God as the ultimate Authority, they find a reference point for themselves and can better relate to authority and to others.

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

Once teens consistently make responsible decisions 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 individual liberties are restored. Careful coaching of parents in our retreats also takes place during this step in preparation for the teen’s return home.

During both parts 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 incorporate test prep for the SAT and ACT as part of our regular curriculum.
