About Us
Our Philosophy
At Sheppard, we believe that when expectations are set high, children will rise to the challenge. Each day, our students will receive the highest quality education that is delivered by a passionate, talented, and caring staff that want to see each child reach their full potential. We put an emphasis on utilizing sound instructional strategies that implement the Common Core State Standards in a way that provides meaningful and memorable learning experiences for all of our students. Our children will develop the skills necessary to become critical thinkers so that they can gain a deep understanding of the curriculum. Our teachers utilize a data-driven approach, which informs the instructional decisions in each classroom. We believe that the entire Sheppard community must always “Be Respectful, Be Responsible, and Always Do Their Best” in order to maintain an educational environment that is conducive the learning. We will strive to meet the academic, social, and emotional needs of all of our students and their families by any means necessary.
