Good Shepherd Episcopal School is for K-8 students who are embarking on a college preparatory track. Our small classes and dedicated faculty provide a wonderful learning environment. Good Shepherd students do much in addition to their daily academics. They sing and play violins and cellos, they learn Spanish, they pray daily and go to chapel weekly, they do art, they salute the flag in the mornings, and they participate in a robust physical education program.
