Coming Up at GSES
 
A New Approach to Success

Since 1971, Good Shepherd has been providing educational choice to families in the Richmond area.  In that time, we've learned a few things.

 

First, we've found academic cooperation rather than competition is a "secret ingredient" to our students' success.   That's why Good Shepherd incorporates peer-to-peer learning as well as direct instruction.   

 

Second, we embrace the strengths of every student, taking an individualized approach to education.  We teach core subjects by creating an individualized learning plan for success for each and every student.  Our students consistently achieve higher than national average test scores and go on to attend the high school of their choice.  (Click here for high schools attended by GSES students) 

 

Finally, we know that a strong sense of community is important for parents and students.  That's why we encourage all parents to participate in events and PTO meetings.  When we all participate, success is assured.

 

We invite you to get to know Good Shepherd, a place where individual paths to success are created.
