Teaching our kids sometimes involves slowing down and digging in the dirt.

Green Thumb

What does this teach?

Green Thumb

In our busy world, how often do we slow down enough to notice, much less analyze life’s teachable moments? Teachable moments are great ways to spend time, grow relationships, and impart wisdom to our kids. And if the pressures and time constraints of life make finding teachable moments difficult for you then consider carving out a small block of time each day or week to carve out a small garden in your backyard.

Why? Because as we have discovered at Shepherd’s Hill Academy tending a garden is full of life principles, lessons and responsibilities, teachable moments, and even exercise. All of these are components of cultivating and growing spiritual, physical, and emotional health.

"When I met the kids (at SHA), and saw the glow of transformation on their faces, it spoke to me that Shepherd's Hill Academy was more than 'Just what the doctor ordered.' It is a holistic, spiritual and therapeutic approach to healing that provides an atmosphere for learning and a proving ground for the uncompromising time-tested truths of scripture." - John Rosemond, American Columnist
“I am so thrilled to know that there are those out there who are standing on the authority of God’s Word in this age of compromise; teaching parents…to pass on that spiritual legacy to the next generation.” - Ken Ham,  CEO & Founder of Answers in Genesis
