About
Good Shepherd Catholic School...
One
of the most recently established schools in the
Archdiocese of Miami, our school serves the needs of
families in our vicinity by providing high quality
Catholic education for students.
We
strive to imitate our Lord, the Good Shepherd, by aiming
for a program that provides and leads our students
towards academic and spiritual excellence.
We
are a growing school with the second phase of our
construction already completed.
We
are a member in good standing of the Dade Association of
Academic Non-Public Schools.
About
Our Philosophy...
Our
philosophy is to provide a Catholic model for our
students to follow. Our school is here to assist
the parents, the primary educators, with the task of
developing morally responsible Catholics who follow in
the footsteps of Jesus Christ. We provide our
students with opportunities to further nurture and
develop the seeds of love, faith, and charity their
parents have planted in them as well as fortify their
academic achievement.
About
The Mother Seton Program...
We
offer a remedial program inspired by the work of
education pioneer Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton.
Believing that our mission as a Catholic School is to
meet the needs of children from our vicinity who perform
at varying academic levels, the remedial pull-out
program has been created as a viable option for present
and future students of our school.
She
founded the Sisters of Charity of St. Joseph in 1809,
and is the first
native
American to be canonized by the Catholic Church.
About
The St. Thomas Aquinas Program...
We
offer a gifted program inspired by the teachings of St.
Thomas Aquinas. We strive to meet the needs of
students who are academically advanced.
Born
in Naples, Italy, c. 1225; died near Rome, 1274;
canonized 1323; declared Doctor of the Church in 1567;
Pope Leo XIII named him patron of Catholic universities
and centers of study in 1880.
About
our Sacramental Life...
Our
second grade students are prepared for and receive the
Sacraments of Reconciliation and First Holy
Communion. Our eighth grade students are prepared
during the seventh grade and receive the Sacrament of
Confirmation early in their eighth grade year.
We
attend Holy Mass each Tuesday at 8:30 AM as a school
community and every 2nd and 4th Sunday of the month we
gather as a school and parish community at
10:30
AM.
