I am a former student at this school. I have been to this school ever since I was in kindergarten all the way to the eighth grade. All I can say is that this school is awesome. I love the students and staff members, although they change too much. They help you when you need it. They don't ignore you. They are also great listeners. Many parents might think this school is not great for their children. But guess what? Your children are the ones that make their experiences a good one. This school provides good education in religion and many other subjects. They are many fun events such as Springfest, where everyone could be involved. Throughout the school years, I had my plentiful laughs with the teachers and students and learned a lot. Good Shepherd School helps prepare your children for high school. I'm in high school already and I'm right breezing through it. Trust me, you won't regret coming to this school.

Kindergarten program is top notch! Nurturing, creative and fun! Encourages a love for learning and school. Very special year - I am glad we decided to send our child here. Small, caring community.

My children have attended Good Shepherd School since kindergarten and have received a top notch education. I myself am a product of parochial schools in Philadelphia and appreciate that my children can also have a superior academic experience while being able to grow in their faith at the same time.

I and my husband have together 24 years of catholic school experience. What I remember from a Catholic School education is love and devotion from the religious community that taught there. Devotion to the student. Our experience shattered after years of trying to find a teacher that would think outside of the box, take extra time to cultivate a child that didn't fit the cookie cutter mold, and to be perfectly honest this school does not foster loving caring relationships on the norm. Yes, the education far exceeds the public school systems currently. But what type of moral beings are they raising? Children are verbally berated by teachers in front of the students. Teachers are untouchable and not held accountable for their actions. My son is now in public school and we realize his education requires a little more hands on maintenance there, a work in progress so to speak, but his heart and mind are healthy once more. I would consider Catholic School education just not at Good Shepherd School in Camp Hill, PA.

If parents are willing to drive the extra distance, why wouldn't they be allowed to choose? Every school is not a match for every child and parents know their children best ... More »

Definitely! I believe that families should be allowed to attend any school they want, because there are some who went to a good school and parents want what's best for their kids. Even education.

Families should be able to attend any school they wish.
