"Train up a child in the way he should go and when he
is old he will not turn from it."
                      Proverbs: 22:6
    
The ministry of Good Shepherd Christian Academy is based upon the Biblical conviction that education cannot be divided into the secular and the sacred.  The Bible teaches that God is Truth (Deut. 32:4), that Jesus Christ is Truth (John 14:6), and that the Scriptures are Truth (John ).  True and lasting education, therefore, is training by instruction and example in the Truth, and that requires the Bible to be the foundation of our school program and Jesus Christ to be the central focus (Col. 1:18b).
 
   Mission Statement
Good Shepherd Christian Academy partners with family and church to provide a Christ-centered, Biblically based education emphasizing academic excellence and character development.
.
Vision Statement  
Our goal is to provide an educational environment that is spiritually based, emotionally encouraging, physically safe, and intellectually challenging.  We believe a child has the best opportunity for success when home, church and school are working together in harmony towards these ends.
 
 
Our Philosophy in Practice
All teachers and assistants must give testimony of personal faith in Christ, be a Christ-like example to the students in all areas of life, and be faithful in attendance and involved in a Christian church; 
Curriculum is based on and interpreted in the light of God's revealed Word;
Students shall conduct themselves in a Christian manner; the standard by which students should relate to each other and their superiors includes honesty, respect, kindness, humility and a servant-spirit;
Discipline flows from the principle that each student is personally accountable for his or her behavior; consistent standards of discipline shall be applied;
Doing one's best is the goal in all studies, and activities;
Seeking God's approval is more important than gaining the approval of the world.
