Welcome to Good Shepherd Episcopal School
Located in the heart of Forest Hill, our school offers a challenging K-8 curriculum enhanced by outdoor education, a robust physical education program, and the arts to students of all faiths.

Our students LOVE the outdoors!
Our place-based education program uses the local community and environment as a starting point for teaching concepts in language arts, mathematics, social studies, science, technology, and other subjects across the curriculum.
Extracurricular activities abound
Extracurricular activities include athletic teams and other enriching opportunities such as music, cooking, tree climbing, and martial arts. Classes are available through our Extended Day Program.
Students will be on campus fall 2020
As of now, GSES is able to meet the state criteria to open for all students five days each week.
