Shepherd provides an academically challenging curriculum, and our students regularly outperform other schools in national tests. We emphasize the development of critical thinking and independent problem solving to instill the skills for life-long learning.
At Shepherd, we believe in the benefits of physical activity and competition. Our students compete against other schools in the Denver Area Lutheran (DAL) Athletic Conference and other area schools in soccer, volleyball, basketball, and track.
To be National Lutheran Schools Accreditation (NLSA) accredited, schools complete a rigorous self-study, they are reviewed by a team of peers, they must implement initiatives that provide a continuing program of excellence, and meet or exceed state standards.
Shepherd laid the foundation for our girls’ academic and personal success. It also solidified their faith in our Savior. They not only excelled in the classroom with Shepherd’s amazing teachers, they were taught how to love their neighbors as themselves.
Athletics at Shepherd has enabled our daughters to try and compete in multiple sports. The inter-school sports league has been great and includes similar sized schools around Metro Denver and helps the athletes forge friendships thru competition.
We came to Shepherd for the small class sizes and individual attention but also became part of a caring community.
