It should provide them with the skills necessary to function in society both independently and interdependently, and foster in them a self-confidence that emphasizes judgmental ability independent of their peers. It is the aim of Good Shepherd's parents and faculty that students emerge from the school both logical and creative thinkers, motivated to continue the lifelong pursuit of truth to which all are called by the Holy Spirit. Responsibility for the students' acedemic, spiritual, physical, cultural, and social growth is viewed as a shared process involving the cooperation and commitment of the child, the teachers, and the parents. By showing an appreciation for and recognition of each child's strengths, as well as providing developmental solutions for weaknesses, the school is a place where a child learns to become a valuable part of society. Academic achievement is stressed in proper proportion to other needs of the students by establishing a grading system that measures a student's performance, identifies his learning strengths and weaknesses, and evaluates the teaching-learning environment while striving to insure optimum success on the part of all students at Good Shepherd School.
Every effort is made to assist students in meeting the academic requirements of the school.
