Incredible. This is a school centered around creating adults with well worn paths to seeking the Lord.

This school is a hidden gem in Tyler. Incredibly rigorous academically, with equal focus on character. They've stayed true to their mission for 30 years, with the same headmaster, and many of the same staff. I cannot say enough about this school. One of the least expensive in town, and easily the best all-around. Take a tour and you will be sold.

If you want your children to know and love God better, this is the school for you! I'm a graduate of Good Shepherd, now getting my degree at the University of Texas at Tyler. The twice a day chapels at the beginning and end of the day provide a unique atmosphere to the school culture. Father Banek, the headmaster, dedicates himself to keeping the school culture a safe environment that challenges students to serve the Lord by serving other people. His life is a great example of service. So many parents and teachers are involved in the students lives in and out of school because they truly care for children. (Nobody works there for the pay, they do it because they know the importance of a godly education for young people.) If you're looking for athletics, or AP credit, there are lots of high caliber athletics programs in Tyler, and TJC classes can be taken as a part time student in high school years. The debate program, run by Sara and Roy Maynard is top of the line. They taught us to skim large documents for useful information, analyze the legitimacy of sources, and use logic to construct arguments. Without GSS, I would be much weaker in my faith, and a less joyful person.

My 4 yr old son is currently attending this school and is loving it. This second semester he started reading books. He comes home every week with a new book that are reading. He is also doing very well in math, adding and subtracting, counting by odds, evens, 5s, 10s. Everyone who see's what he is doing is amazed. The class has only 8 students, which gives them alot of 1 on 1. I would highly recommend this school, expesially for pre-K.
