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 eliminate distractions, build trust and foster teamwork. Removing 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 strategies, giving teens good reason to consider their responsibility 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 better relate to authority and to others.

For Parents Seeking a Therapeutic Boarding School in Sterling Heights, Michigan, We Offer a Well-Rounded Therapeutic Program and Accredited School

After a time, when teens consistently make responsible choices and take ownership of their development, they transition to the residential program and live in a home on campus. This phase gets them ready to transition into society as privileges and individual freedoms are restored. Careful coaching 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 attend our on-campus, fully accredited junior and senior high school, staffed with Georgia certified teachers. We desire students to continue their studies in college, so we include test prep for the SAT and ACT as part of our ordinary curriculum.
