CURRICULUM – OVERVIEW

 

Delight in Discovery and Development


The Good Shepherd School seeks to instill a love of learning in each child and our programs are designed to be fun (Delight), engaging and interactive (Discovery), and intellectually and socially stimulating (Development). We offer a variety of classes for each age level from 12-months old through Kindergarten as well as afternoon enrichment programs. All of our classes have two experienced teachers providing a low teacher to student ratio with an average ratio of 1:5. Take a closer look at all we offer.
