Application for Admission

Our modern 210 acre campus is situated within the beautiful north Georgia Mountains, surrounded on three sides by National Forest, with many varied outdoor activities. Located in the heart of the campus is a 14 acre crystal clear stocked lake offering fishing and canoeing. Students have a wide variety of campus recreational activities, from wilderness experiences to many off campus activities, advantaging the local and Atlanta community events. There are also many Clubs and Organizations in which students may participate.

Although most of our students struggle with issues of Oppositional Defiant Disorder, we treat all of our students’ needs with specialized attention. Hidden Lake Academy offers a strong therapeutic curriculum, coupled with specialized "adjunct" therapeutic services which address other clinical issues such as; addictive, compulsive and self-destructive behaviors. While supported in a caring, loving environment, students are taught the lessons of healthy living. During the course of the therapeutic program at HLA, students move through five sequentially planned counseling segments called Elements. Each element introduces concepts that are crucial to the student’s personal development and success. Each student participates in individual as well as group therapy.
