About Our School
Our Grade School is a state accredited Christian school that prepares students to succeed both spiritually and intellectually long after they leave our campus. We incorporate God’s truths in to all of our academics, as well as leading daily devotions & weekly chapel gatherings. We would love to show you why Good Shepherd is one of the top academic-performing grade schools in Sioux Falls!
Our School’s Objective
The ultimate objective of Christian education must serve to point out the very purpose of life itself—that we exist to praise, glorify, and please God every day.
Our objectives at Good Shepherd are that every child:
has a thorough knowledge and understanding of God’s Word.
builds his/her life around faith in the Lord so that all thoughts, words, deeds, and relationships exemplify the life of Christ.
is instructed, in every subject, to develop all the talents God has given for his/her use in the world.
is prepared through disciplined instruction for the next step of his/her education.
Our Facilities
We have six classrooms at our school: full-time Preschool, Kindergarten & Grade 1, Grades 2, Grades 3-4, Grades 5-6, and Grades 7-8. Our school’s multi-grade classroom setting is immensely beneficially to the students academic achievement, personal relationships with other students and teachers, and the development of their Christian character.
“Train up children in the way they should go; even when they are old they will not depart from it.”
Proverbs 22:6
Our School Faculty
“The teachers LOVE God and all of them have different skills and talents, which help bring out the different skills and talents of each of the students. The communication, the connectedness, and the sense of family are evident.”
- Barb, 2024 parent
