Good Shepherd is one of the BEST schools in the area! My Son loved walking in every morning greeted by a warm welcome from all the staff and safety patrol kids! All the teachers in the school are nurturing and loving.. they make learning such a wonderful experience for the kids! Mrs. Heather is one of the greatest Principals we have ever had! And the staff at the school is phenomenal! All are so friendly and helpful! The curriculum that Good Shepherd offers is a very good one and the teachers cater to each child`s needs- their system of communication is excellent in that they keep the parents informed on what their children`s day-to-day work/ activities/socialization looks like and pictures are included in the emails .. this, of course, made my husband and myself feel like we were in the classroom with our son! Good Shepherd is more than just a school it is a community.. we highly recommend joining the Good Shepherd Family! .. you will be giving your child the best education and the most wholesome environment possible!!!!
