The Good Shepherd Academy

The Good Shepherd Academy is an independent, coeducational school for grades K-12. Founded
by parents as primary educators,  we seek to form students that know, love, and serve God through
a rigorous classical  education aligned with the Magisterium of the Roman Catholic Church. Frequent
reception of the sacraments and developing a reverence for the Holy Mass to fortify their faith in Jesus
in the  Blessed Sacrament is the foundation of our program.

The education of children is, in the first place, the responsibility of their parents (Catechism of the
Catholic Church 2221 & 2223). Parents have the right, and the duty, to choose a school that corresponds to their own
convictions (CCC 2229). In furtherance of this right, and in fulfillment of this duty, a group of parents formed The Good
Shepherd Academy. The Board of Directors has adopted a Statement of Purpose as its guiding principles to enable
parents considering the school to understand our convictions, our curriculum, our culture, and the capabilities that
we seek to foster in our students.

The Good Shepherd Academy will use the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd religion program. Academic formation will
be achieved by imparting authentic Catholic principles through a classical liberal arts curriculum. Introducing young
mindsto classical literature from the greatest thinkers of Western Civilization, the history of the Founding Fathers of our
Country,along with mathematics, history, geography, science, English and fine arts. Teaching methods are directed
toward developing memory, sound reasoning, and communication skills in keeping with the natural stages of childhood
intellectual development.  We also serve students with additional needs, like Down Syndrome, as gifts to be
celebrated and a beautiful part of God's creation!
