The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is a Montessori-based; experiential educational program focused on liturgy/scripture. Children direct their own learning in a carefully prepared environment (an Atrium) which supports children's unique capabilities/interests; and gives the opportunity to grow in love/knowledge of God through the Christian tradition. CGS offers two age groups: The Good Shepherd Atrium (Ages 3-6) and The True Vine Atrium (Ages 6-9).
