Initiatives

The Good Shepherd Catholic Montessori seeks out best educational practices to augment an already rich Montessori curriculum.  These initiatives include:

• Orton Gillingham Instruction:  an optimal approach for reading and spelling for all elementary students
  
  
• All Kinds of Minds:  an overall understanding of how children learn
  
  
• Springer Partnership:  an active collaboration with local experts to continue staff development with All Kinds of Minds
  
  
• Excellence in Writing:  a systematic approach to writing instruction that encompasses the structure and style of fiction and non-fiction writing
  
  
• Artist in Education Residency:  participation in the Ohio Arts Council’s Artist in Education Residency program that brings a resident artist to our school each year.
