Helping Troubled Boys Who Need a Second Chance to Learn, Find Purpose, and Transform Through Love 

Nonprofit therapeutic boarding schools in New York and Tennessee are designed to help troubled boys between the ages of 13-17. Each campus thrives in an equestrian, adventure-based environment with the goal of transforming lives through love. Trained professional staff teach teens how to become productive citizens through career counseling, caseworker and caretaker support, and by creating a plan for transitioning back into their community. Each campus provides a safe place for boys to work through and resolve the issues that have thrown their lives out of balance. The Tennessee campus has six homes and two horse farms spread across 86 acres. The caring, transformational program is a blend of: Academics, Counseling, Vocational training, Mentoring, Spiritual guidance, and Equine therapy

The focus is to help young teens to become upstanding citizens who learn the value of a good, hard day’s work, and to develop a strong character, so that they can one day be able to provide for themselves and their families.

Teen boys who come to Timothy Hill Academy often struggle with a wide range of social, emotional, mental, and spiritual challenges. Our compassionate team provides therapeutic care designed to bring healing and growth. Over the years, Timothy Hill has successfully supported youth dealing with trauma and PTSD, adoption and abandonment issues, learning differences, oppositional defiant disorder, autism, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and even more complex struggles such as borderline personality disorder.

At the core of our clinical approach is Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), a proven, evidence-based method for helping adolescents process trauma and build healthier patterns. Our therapy model also supports boys facing ADHD, ODD, RAD, PTSD, abandonment wounds, and other emotional or behavioral concerns such as depression and anxiety.

Our specialized therapeutic services include:

Through these integrated services, Timothy Hill Academy helps boys not only address their challenges but also rediscover their worth, strengthen relationships, and begin building a more hopeful future.

Students experience numerous recreational activities. Adventures include horseback riding, hiking, swimming, water sports, skiing, sledding and service projects. In the New York program, they also attend sporting events on Long Island, NYC and NJ, 5K races, and Spartan Races.

Timothy Hill Academy adapts their academic schedule to the needs of the individual student. The goal of academics is to see the boys graduate from high-school, but also to obtain a driving permit, then a driver’s license, and find gainful employment and develop independent living skills.

Timothy Hill also offers a workforce development program on each campus (teaching them to be on time, work hard, and attain gainful employment), with proximity and relationship with BOCES, daily devotional, and church attendance.

Vocational education and personal mentoring are the cornerstone of Timothy Hill Academy, coupled with off-site vocational placement with business partners. At the Timothy Hill New York and Tennessee campuses, boys 13-17 years old gain confidence, build character, and develop life skills through on-site work projects. Boys also learn to use many different hand and power tools. As they progress, they are allowed, with supervision, to apply for and obtain off-site work.

The wide variety of on-site trades include Carpentry, Woodworking, Electrical Work, Plumbing, Computer Basics, Culinary Arts, Animal Husbandry, Agriculture, Auto Mechanics, Barista training, and much more.

The Timothy Hill vocation staff aids teen boys in learning accountability, transportation, and company compliance, and each boy’s hard-earned paychecks go into a savings account. The program also keeps teen boys moving toward independent living as young adults.
