“[Cultivating] wisdom and virtue by nourishing the soul on truth, goodness, and beauty.”
Established in 1979, Good Shepherd is a classical Christian school in Tyler, Texas for grades K4 -12.
Good Shepherd School provides an academically excellent education that is distinctively classical and Christian in the Anglican Tradition.
“...where the instruction which enlightens the understanding is not separated from the moral education which amends the heart.”
Classical Education
As a Classical school we employ the time-honored medieval “trivium” of Grammar, Logic, and Rhetoric as our educational philosophy and teaching methodology, in order to equip pupils for the future with proven tools from the past.
In the grammar stage, young students are taught the basic set of knowledge for each subject and the basic skills for mastering that knowledge.
In the logic stage, the curriculum takes advantage of the argumentative ability of the older pupil, channeling his natural inclination toward sound reasoning and careful thinking.
The rhetoric stage brings to fruition the art of learning. The student begins to integrate a whole sense of life, of the world, and of his place in it.
“We have found that when family, church, and school reinforce, support, and agree with each other in the Christian and Classical training of children, these young people, without fail, become outstanding members of their communities, to the glory of God.”
