Program
New students typically have struggled with homework, depression, anger management, or various addictions. Some students are from outside the United States. The student population in the past has often ranged from about 15 to 200 students. Hidden Lake Academy is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS), the Southern Association of Independent Schools (SAIS), and the Georgia Accreditation Commission (GAC).
The school boasts a 100% college acceptance rate for those who apply. The staff recommend that most of the students attend small colleges or boarding schools, although a few attend larger universities or go back to ordinary high schools against the school's recommendations.
Books are also screened, students are not allowed to possess any literature which contains sex or drug references/pictures. Magazines, newspapers, and journals are also screened, and any inappropriate articles are cut out to allow the student to have reading material without negative influences. Incoming and outgoing mail is no longer screened by staff; but some letters are not permitted if they are from friends. They do not always let students know when they receive them.

“Beluthahatchee is a country where all unpleasant doings and sayings are forgotten, a land of forgiveness and forgetfulness. When a woman accusingly reminds her man of something in the past, he replies, ‘I thought that was in Beluthahatchee.’ Or a person may say to another, to dismiss some matter, “Oh, that’s in Beluthahatchee.’”
