Curriculum

A Good Shepherd education moves on two tracks at once — the subjects your child is learning, and the grade they're learning them in. Explore either one below.

Our Approach

Good Shepherd's mission rests on five things: challenging academics, critical thinking, character building, creative expression, and Christian values. In the classroom, that shows up as small classes, teachers who know each child by name, and a curriculum that treats faith, learning, and character as one continuous thing rather than three separate hours of the day.
