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

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 true and lasting change.

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 get rid of distractions, build trust and teach teamwork. Removing electronics and other conveniences gives teens an opportunity to contemplate more meaningful issues of life. The necessity of cooperating to meet simple daily needs calls for coping and teamwork strategies, giving teens good reason to consider their responsibility to 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 Severn, Maryland, We Offer a Well-Rounded Therapeutic Program and Accredited School

After a time, when teens demonstrate responsible decisions and take ownership of their growth, they transition to the residential program and live in 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 return home.

All throughout the program, the teens receive regular counseling and are enrolled in our on-campus, fully accredited junior and senior high school, taught by Georgia certified instructors. We desire students to attend college, so we incorporate test prep for the SAT and ACT as part of our daily curriculum.
