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

Shepherd’s Hill Academy, located in northeast Georgia, is a hybrid between a therapeutic wilderness program and a boarding school with counseling. Teens come to Shepherd’s Hill Academy from all across the nation, including from Severna Park, Maryland. Though it is a distance for some, parents find it constructive for their teenager to experience a new environment detached 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 offer a first-rate education, one-on-one mentoring and counseling, equine therapy, and teamwork exercises to help teens grow character and learn to make responsible decisions.

Getting Started on the Right Foot — Our Wilderness Program

The first phase of life at Shepherd’s Hill Academy is a wilderness program, designed to remove distractions, build trust and foster teamwork. Living without electricity and other conveniences gives teens an opportunity to contemplate more meaningful issues of life. The necessity of working together to meet simple daily needs requires coping and teamwork skills, compelling teens to consider their obligation to others. As they observe staff and leaders who submit to God as the true Authority, they find a reference point for themselves and can more appropriately relate to authority and to others.

For Parents Seeking a Therapeutic Boarding School in Severna Park, Maryland, We Offer a Well-Rounded Therapeutic Program and Accredited School

After a time, when teens display responsible decisions and take ownership of their growth, they shift 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 instruction of parents in our retreats also occurs during this step in readiness for the teen’s going 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 encourage students to attend college, so we include test prep for the SAT and ACT as part of our ordinary curriculum.
