Hearts and Minds.
Come Grow With Us.

A Christ-centered, discipleship-model covenant school in Northern Virginia — cultivating excellence with a heart for God through joyful learning, small classes, and a true partnership with parents.

The Shepherd Difference

Shepherding the hearts and academics of every student.

Biblical Worldview

A Christ-centered worldview is integrated into every subject — with weekly chapel, daily Bible class, Scripture memorization, and monthly Christian character focus.

Joyful Learning

Small classes, hands-on labs, music, art, PE, and field trips through the rich history of the DMV — learning that is rigorous and truly joyful.

Partnering with Parents

As a discipleship-model covenant school, we come alongside parents — who have a real voice in their children's education — for the long journey.

“A school where every child is shepherded, known, and challenged.”

At Shepherd, we partner with parents as the primary disciplers of their children. Our teachers pair a proven Abeka and Bob Jones University curriculum with genuine care — small classes, a biblical worldview woven into every subject, and joyful learning that shapes lifelong disciples and thoughtful young leaders.

We would love to welcome your family to campus. Come grow with us.
