School
Good Shepherd Lutheran School is a fully accreditated school offering programs in early childhood for children ages 6 weeks through VPK and summer camp. The whole child is the focus at GSLC&S. Children are nurtured in all aspects of growth and development: social, emotional, physical, cognitive, and spiritual. Having your child be confident in themselves as a child of God, going forth with a firm foundation in academics, and being able to learn and explore in a safe and loving environment is what Good Shepherd Lutheran Church and School is about. Class sizes are intentionally kept small and are staffed with qualified and experienced teachers.

Our Mission:
Good Shepherd Lutheran Church and School is a welcoming, Christ-centered family, dedicated to sharing our love and faith.
Our Vision:
Good Shepherd Lutheran School nurtures the whole child through play while encouraging Christian values and lifelong learning in a dynamic world.
We envision a nurturing, faith-filled environment where every child grows strong in heart, mind, and spirit. Grounded in the love of Christ and guided by our partnership with families, we seek to cultivate children who are deeply rooted in character and prepared for a lifetime of learning and service.
We accomplish this by providing a play-based curriculum that encourages curiosity, creativity, and joyful discovery. Our six foundational “roots”—problem solving, responsibility, independence, manners, empathy, and self-control—are woven into daily experiences, helping children develop the social-emotional and spiritual tools they need to thrive.
With dedicated educators, a supportive Christian community, and a whole-child approach, we plant seeds of faith, confidence, and compassion—believing that the early years are the soil where strong lives are cultivated.
