Good
Shepherd School's curriculum offers a solid academic
foundation in its program of study.
Using the time-honored "trivium,"
(three-fold
way) |
and its three stages of learning as a guide, curriculum
materials are carefully chosen from select publishers
to ensure that students in the Grammar stage (K-6) acquire
the necessary phonetic, reading, arithmetic, and writing
skills in traditional core subjects.
Coursework mastered in the Grammar stage
is built upon in subsequent study in the Dialectic
and Rhetoric stages
(7th-12th). In the Dialectic (logic) stage emphasis
is given to developing critical reading and thinking
skills
through the use of original sources.
The Rhetoric stage focuses upon the cultivation of effective
and persuasive communication skills in original research,
reports, and presentations. It also includes participation
in our debate program, m which our teams compete in tournaments
against other teams regionally from both independent
school districts and private schools.
The courses for 7th-12th grade students are college
preparatory in nature, satisfying necessary college entrance
requirements.
