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 genuine and lasting change. We offer a first-rate education, one-on-one mentoring and counseling, equine therapy, and teamwork exercises to help teens build character and learn to make responsible decisions.

Getting Started on the Right Foot — Our Wilderness Program

The first phase of a stay at Shepherd’s Hill Academy is a wilderness program, intended to remove distractions, build trust and teach teamwork. Removing technology and other conveniences gives teens an opportunity to contemplate deeper issues of life. The necessity of collaborating to meet simple daily needs demands coping and teamwork abilities, compelling teens to consider their responsibility to 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 Woodbridge, Virginia, We Offer a Well-Rounded Therapeutic Program and Accredited School

This phase gets them ready to transition into society as privileges and individual freedoms are restored. Careful coaching of parents in our retreats also takes place during this phase in preparation for the teen’s going 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 continue their studies in college, so we include test prep for the SAT and ACT as part of our regular curriculum.
