Overview

Alumni Parent

We came to GSLS from public school and were looking for a more individualized experience for our kids. Our children felt truly cared for and connected to their teachers and their school. GSLS creates a safe learning environment that allows kids to really become who they are meant to be.

Why Choose GSLS?

List of 1 items.

  • Find the right place for your child to grow.

Choosing a school is about more than finding strong academics. It's finding a place where your child will be known, challenged, encouraged and excited to learn.

At Good Shepherd, small classes and experienced teachers create the relationships that help children thrive. From Preschool through 8th grade, students build strong academic foundations while exploring STEM, music, art, theater, athletics and experiences that develop confidence, curiosity and character.

With a 13:1 student-teacher ratio, 8+ weekly enrichment classes taught by specialists, and teachers averaging 15 years at GSLS, personal attention isn't simply something we promise, it's built into the way our school works.

Our Lutheran foundation calls us to lead with hope, love, respect, responsibility and compassion. Families of all faith traditions and backgrounds are welcome here.

But numbers and words can only tell you so much.

Come see what it feels like to be known at Good Shepherd.

    “GSLS is a wonderfully small school with a big heart. The music, drama, art and science programs are outstanding. The children are taught to care about one another, as well as those in their local community and around the world.”

  • - Elementary/Preschool Parent

    “My son has not only thrived but excelled and I am confident that he is cared for as I would care for him... My daughter will be starting K next year and we are excited to have her attend GSLS. I would highly recommend this school to anyone looking for a great academic program in a loving community environment.”

  • - Middle School Parent

    “Changing schools can be incredibly challenging, especially when transitioning from a large public school to a smaller private school. We have been nothing but impressed by how welcoming the other students are and how supportive the staff has been. Our daughter is already thriving and making new friends, we could not have asked for a better transition.  We are so grateful! You have exceeded all of our expectations. We are thrilled to be part of the Good Shepherd Family!”
