About the School

At Good Shepherd Episcopal School, we start and end with children - your children, who we share for a few short years. Our exceptional curriculum and signature programs are designed to encourage learning through a well-balanced and meaningful educational experience for all students, prekindergarten through eighth grade.

Our Mission

At Good Shepherd, our mission is to inspire your children to learn with confidence, serve with compassion, and lead with courage. From the first day of prekindergarten through eighth grade graduation, we do our best to provide an environment to achieve this mission. We ensure that our students are confident learners by encouraging intellectual exploration. We give our students many chances to feed their spiritual selves and build compassion by serving others. We provide various leadership opportunities across grade levels to instill respect, courage, and acceptance so our students make a positive impact on the world around them.

From PreK to Eighth Grade

Our early childhood program allows the youngest of our students to discover their own joy and confidence in how they learn. They are able to participate in a myriad of activities to uncover strengths, develop creativity, implement important socialization skills, begin to serve others, and even learn early leadership skills. In the lower school, our students continue to grow, discovering new interests, establishing strong moral values, and building self-esteem and confidence. In the middle school, our students continue to explore learning, identifying their gifts, stretching their minds, pursuing their leadership potential while remaining in a close-knit community where all students are being encouraged and nurtured. At the end of eighth grade, Good Shepherd students are well-prepared to matriculate to any top high school in the Dallas area. They have grown to better understand themselves and can imagine their exciting futures. This understanding positions them beautifully to participate fully in the high school search process, finding that just-right high school fit.
