No College

When looking at colleges for your child consider that no college might be the answer.

No College

But how can that be good for their future?

No College

Would it shock you too much if I said that college for our kids might be overrated? Perhaps you have experienced that it is easier to find a good doctor or lawyer today than it is to find a skilled tradesman like a plumber or painter.

One reason for this is that boys, in particular, are so consumed with video games that the thought of an honest blue-collar pursuit, like the trades, is beneath them. However, there is incredible opportunity for some six-figure work right out of high school. You might save yourself a huge college bill and bless your child with a bright future at the same time by limiting gaming and replacing it with time training your children in the way they should go.

"It is such a wonderful, God inspired thing you have done to help all of these children. I think people would love to read your book and learn more. You have helped changed so many lives, people will want to realize & learn about the work you are doing. It is so important." - Doris Newcomb, WFAX
"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
