Art
Weekly art instruction introduces the basic concepts, vocabulary, and techniques in the field of art. The foundation skills of working with art media and equipment are introduced and built upon. Whenever possible, art instruction is tied to units of study in the academic curriculum.
Our Middle School students enjoy a rigorous S.T.R.E.A.M. (Science, Technology, Religion, Engineering, Art, Math) Program where they incorporate what they are learning in their core academics classes, but in a new way. Students learn how things like technology helps make our life easier by completing experiments that align with real world problems.

In today’s world, it is important to teach our students to use technology responsibly and offer them devices for learning while here at school. Good Shepherd has a dedicated computer lab, multiple laptop carts that can be checked out for classroom use, as well as computer workrooms in each building.

In addition, this year Good Shepherd is proud to have our entire Middle School students one to one with their own school-provided iPad.
