Every child learns differently. Our Academic Support program ensures that every student at Good Shepherd has the resources, encouragement, and individualized attention they need to thrive.
Every child arrives at school with a unique set of strengths. Our approach to academic support is built on that belief. Rather than waiting for a student to fall behind, we work alongside classroom teachers to identify needs early and respond with the right kind of help — whether that's one-on-one reinforcement, small-group instruction, or a tailored learning plan.
At GSES, asking for support is a sign of strength. We make sure every student knows that.

Our Academic Support program is available to students from Early Learning through 5th Grade.
We encourage families to reach out early. You don't need to wait for a report card to ask for help.
Support may be appropriate for students who:
1.
Reach Out
Families can contact us directly to start a conversation, or speak with their child's classroom teacher. Either is a great first step.
2.
A Conversation About Your Child
We'll talk through your child's specific needs, learning style, and goals — and connect you with the right member of our faculty team.
3.
Support That Fits
Sessions are available both during and after the school day, giving families flexibility based on their child's schedule. Support is provided by our experienced GSES faculty — so it's always connected to what's happening in the classroom.
4.
Ongoing Communication
You'll always know how your child is doing. We maintain open communication with families throughout the process and adjust as your child grows.
Academic support sessions are available for an additional fee. Please contact our office for current rates.
We currently offer support in reading, writing, and math.
Sessions are available both during the school day and after school, depending on your child's needs and schedule.
Support is provided by our own GSES faculty — the same experienced instructors who teach your child every day. There are no outside tutors. Your child works with people who know them, know the curriculum, and are invested in their success.
Yes. We work closely with families of students with IEPs and 504 plans to ensure the appropriate accommodations are in place within the classroom. Our teachers coordinate with families and outside specialists as needed to support each child's individual plan.
Families can reach out directly to request support. We also encourage open communication with your child's classroom teacher, who may recommend additional support as part of an ongoing conversation about your child's progress.
Every family's situation is different. If you have questions about Academic Support at GSES — or if you'd like to get started — reach out and we'll be in touch.
