Good Shepherd Catholic School

There is such a strong sense of community at this school. Everybody is looking out for each other here. Everybody from the crossing guards to the principals have a smile on their face and are happy to see families every morning. The school also does a great job of partnering with community organizations to enhance learning outside of school. The academic learning is augmented by real life learning and examples.

COVID partial day school schedules and zooming were definitely not going to work for our young man, so we turned to Good Shepherd, where safety measures and small student number for his grade enabled full regular school days. During that year there was never a shut down for his class. Academically, he came to the school with some missing skills. The teachers, and very involved principal, poured their hearts into getting him to where he should be. The math teacher held after school math camp to be able to give help and support along with fun and snacks. Every child attends voluntarily. At a time when prejudice, bullying, violence, and lack of empathy prevail in not only school environments but within the adult society, this little school is an oasis where respect, empathy, support, and safety are taught, demonstrated, and encouraged. Though it is a catholic school, we are not catholic and that is not an issue at all. A child from any background would feel comfortable there, and the principles taught are universal to being a good human being. The day starts with quiet reflection and a prayer. Every world religion contains those elements no matter who or what you send your quiet thoughts out to. In conclusion, if you want a school with high academic standards, where your child will be supported and loved, where high spirits and laughter bounce off the walls, where you can be as involved as you want to be, then this IS THE SCHOOL !!!
