In addition to providing exciting learning opportunities in the traditional well-established curricular areas, at Good Shepherd, we offer students the rare opportunity to make a head start in computer science and engineering. Computer science, in particular, is a very new subject in the school curriculum and Good Shepherd has invested the last ten years in making it as vital a part of the school curriculum as learning to read and write.
The Highlights of our program:
A resource-rich MAKERSPACE focused on robotics, engineering, and coding
Access to 3D printers, soldering machines, breadboards, wires, power sources, microcontrollers, motor controllers and sensors
A full K to 8 electronics curriculum
A complete coding program beginning with coding in Kindergarten and ending with C++ in the 7th and 8th grade
Access to building robots with microcontrollers like the Microbit and the Arduino
