Curriculum
Our Curriculum, the Catechesis of the
Good Shepherd, calls for the classroom
to be a place of religious life where
dignity and respect prevail. We provide an
environment and proclaim the Word to call
the child to a closer relationship with
God. The environment contains materials
relating to parables, prophecies,
geography, and the life of Jesus. The
lessons are chosen to convey the
essentials of faith and the child is
invited to internalize the lesson. The
child’s work reflects God’s presence.
