The Garden Program

”We are deeply grateful for the incredible staff and teachers at Good Shepherd. We have been lucky enough to send three of our four children for all three years (with another about to start!) and each child has started their next school experience prepared both academically and socially, and with a life-long spiritual foundation. Whether it is the formation foundation, the friendships or the memories, there is something truly magical about this precious school that stays with you long beyond the days you get to spend here.

”We have had both of our children graduate from the Bridging Kindergarten program at GSES and couldn't recommend it more to prospective parents. This critical year helped our children to grow both academically and socially, so that they were better prepared for the next stage of their education. The teachers and programming provide an evolved experience from the Pre-K years, guiding them to a more mature learning environment within an intimate, supportive setting. We are very grateful for the Bridging Kindergarten Program.

”From the moment we stepped into GSES, we were overcome by the passion for education and the sincere connection that makes Good Shepherd the community that it is. We entered as a Bridging Kinder family, very much aware that this program was highly respected in the city. We quickly saw the magic of the Good Shepherd team, who, with the right balance of nurturing and challenge, instilled a love for learning into our son. The team of educators at Good Shepherd have our sincerest gratitude and our utmost respect.

What makes Good Shepherd so special, however, goes beyond the classroom. There is also a magic to the community. We were so warmly welcomed from the start that it is hard to say we were ever "new." To be embraced with such kindness and sincerity has left such an indelible impression that this is the memory that we will take with us as our journey continues. We will always be grateful to have been part of the Good Shepherd family.

The Hopkins Family

”We were instantly struck by the loving and nurturing atmosphere at Good Shepherd. Both of our children looked forward to school each day, and missed their teachers and friends on their days off. What has stood out to us since our first parent teacher conference was the depth of knowledge and empathy that the 3s teachers have towards three-year-olds, and all of the intricacies of their developmental levels. As one of our wonderful teachers put it, “three year olds grow, experience and learn so much in just a year!” We are forever grateful for the role that this program has played in such a critical period in our children’s lives. We cannot emphasize enough how truly loved and appreciated each child is that steps through the doors of this school. We love Good Shepherd!
