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. We provide 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 choices.

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 deeper issues of life. The necessity of collaborating to meet simple daily needs demands coping and teamwork strategies, giving teens good reason to consider how their contribution impacts others. As they watch staff and leaders who submit to God as the ultimate 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 Suffolk, Virginia, We Offer a Well-Rounded Therapeutic Program and Accredited School

After teens demonstrate responsible choices and take ownership of their growth, they shift to the residential program and move to a home on campus. This next step gets them ready to transition into society as privileges and individual liberties are restored. Careful coaching of parents in our retreats also occurs during this step in preparation for the teen’s going home.

During both parts of the program, the teens receive regular counseling and attend our on-campus, fully accredited junior and senior high school, taught by Georgia certified instructors. We desire students to attend college, so we include test prep for the SAT and ACT as part of our regular curriculum.
