For more than thirty-five years, Good Shepherd School has been providing quality Christian education for students in Northern San Mateo County. Conveniently located on the beautiful Pacifica coast, Good Shepherd School is easily accessible via Interstate 280 and Highway 1.

Good Shepherd School's curriculum challenges students beyond the basics, including religious training, computer education, laboratory science, library, music instruction and physical education. An on-site school Counselor helps students with their emotional development, and a Learning Specialist helps students reach their full potential. The full-time science and computer teachers, along with the full-time Librarian, provide students with hands-on, stimulating learning experiences. Every classroom is connected to our computer network, providing high speed access to the World Wide Web. Full-time teacher assistants are provided in the primary grades to allow more individual and small group instruction. Before and after school Extended Care is available from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

Sixth, seventh and eighth grade studies are departmentalized by area of academic specialty to leverage the strengths of the diverse faculty. Effective time management and organization skills are developed as students in grades 6 through 8 receive instruction in seven 45-minute periods. Emphasis is placed upon a mastery of basic subject matter, yet the curriculum is designed to stimulate thinking and broaden perspective.

Good Shepherd School provides many enrichment opportunities for students: 

Good Shepherd School is fully accredited by the Western Catholic Educational Association and Western Association of Schools and Colleges through June 30, 2009.

"Parent participation and support are paramount to our school's success," says Principal Patricia Volan. "Our parents, along with a caring and dedicated faculty and staff, create a strong community spirit and supportive environment."

Good Shepherd School admits students of any race, color, national and/or ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students at this school. The values of Christian living are implicit in everything taught, and students learn respect for themselves and others.

Tuition assistance is available.
