Innovation in Education – The Faithful Shepherd Difference

At Faithful Shepherd, we pride ourselves on these three areas of excellence:

1) Academic excellence achieved through personalized learning 
Extremely talented and passionate staff meet each student where they are at in their learning journey so they can grow to their fullest potential. Class sizes of 25 or less ensure that teachers have the time to give each child individualized attention.

2) Innovative Learning Techniques
From SMART Boards throughout the school, to Tablets in grades K-2 and laptops and Chromebooks in grades 3-8. Technology is part of the core curriculum and engrained into multiple learning experiences.

3) A vibrant faith-based community
In partnership with our parishes, Faith is integrated at all levels – individual, class, school and community. Daily opening prayers, weekly schoolwide Mass, “Faith In Action” Fridays, and community-wide events ensure that a strong Faith-based experience is woven into each child’s experience.

With average standardized test scores that consistently exceed the 80th percentile, we’re proud of the reputation Faithful Shepherd has earned.
