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 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 early part of enrollment at Shepherd’s Hill Academy is a wilderness program, intended to remove distractions, build trust and teach teamwork. Being without TV, cell phones and other conveniences gives teens an opportunity to contemplate deeper issues of life. The necessity of working together to meet simple daily needs calls for 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 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 Rocky Mount, North Carolina, We Offer a Well-Rounded Therapeutic Program and Accredited School

This phase prepares them to transition into society as privileges and personal liberties are restored. Careful coaching of parents in our retreats also happens during this phase in preparation for the teen’s return home.

During both parts 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 instructors. We desire students to go on to college, so we incorporate test prep for the SAT and ACT as part of our regular curriculum.
