Story

Early Childhood Program

We offer an outstanding Pre Kindergarten and Kindergarten curriculum, led by dedicated educators that teach the basics of phonics, fundamentals of reading, and mathematical skills. Good Shepherd is a Florida approved Voluntary Pre–Kindergarten provider.

Elementary & Middle School Program

First through eighth grade students are given a dynamic opportunity to learn and apply what is taught by our team of Christian instructors. Studies include reading, mathematics, language arts, writing, spelling, science, and history. A Beka materials are the basis of our curriculum. “A Beka Book is dedicated to providing quality education from a Christian perspective. Their skilled researchers and writers do not paraphrase progressive education textbooks and add Biblical principles; they do primary research in every subject and look at the subject from God’s point of view.”

Our students have a reputation throughout the community as being “disciplined and well educated” students who take pride in their work and score high in academic testing.

Good Shepherd accepts Florida Step Up for Students scholarship students.

Spiritual enrichment through Bible study, Prayer, and weekly Chapel services are at the heart of all programs. We believe studying the Bible enhances student confidence, cultivates a positive character, fortifies Christian values, and inspires a personal relationship with God.

“Train a child in the way he should go,
and when he is old he will not turn from it.” Proverbs 22:6

Our Athletic Program is recreational and competitive. We believe sports are a means of teaching discipline and sportsmanship while building self esteem and having fun. All sports are held during the corresponding season, and include Flag Football, Basketball, Soccer, Tennis, Cheer leading, and Volleyball.

After school recreational and competitive sports are offered to fifth through eight grade students. Good Shepherd School competes in and sponsors athletic tournaments.

Special Programs are designed to enhance the individual interest of each student. They include Safety Patrol, Student Government, Year Book, Fine Arts, Music, Bible Drill Competitions, Drawing & Paint, Drama, and Spelling Bee.

High School Program

Good Shepherd Lutheran High school will include stimulating academic courses that will challenge and grow each student throughout their high school years as part of a well-rounded college-preparatory course of study. We offer core academic courses in English, mathematics, science, and history which will meet standard graduation requirements and prepare students for further studies. Additional practical course options in consumer and business mathematics teach about taxes, balancing a budget, and other useful life skills. These courses will benefit every student
as they prepare for college or life’s work. Each course is taught through streaming or dvd of an accredited abeka educator. Students will have an on site educator to help them navigate their courses and ensure successful completion of requirements for graduation. Students will be provided all the textbooks and materials required for success. Additionally, each student will receive their very own chromebook to assist in their learning. It will be theirs to keep upon graduation.
