    Indeed it is widely believed that enhanced leadership skills in students are inextricably linked to improved students\u2019 academic outcomes, since the twelve skills listed above are embedded within the academic enabling skills of engagement, study skills, motivation and interpersonal relationships.<\/p>\n

    School programs at Good Shepherd Christian School, both in class and extra-curricular, are designed to disciple young people in the knowledge and understanding of Jesus Christ, and to develop the above leadership skills and experience, as it is believed that this will not only improve students\u2019 academic outcomes, but it will also develop better citizens for our community.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
