Whetstone Academy is a therapeutic boarding school in Mountain Rest, South Carolina. It serves boys in the middle-school age range and combines academics, therapy, farm work, outdoor activities, and family programming.

The school's own materials describe a farm-centered therapeutic boarding-school model. A National Association of Therapeutic Schools and Programs listing says Whetstone was founded in 2011, is accredited by CARF and Cognia, and serves students in grades five through nine at admission on a 57-acre campus near the Chattooga River (Whetstone Academy, NATSAP listing).

Whetstone has also appeared in civil litigation and news coverage concerning alleged sexual abuse and supervision failures. Those allegations are separate from the school's promotional description and are summarized with attribution in the notable-events section.
