New for the 2024–2025 school year, Good Shepherd Montessori School will be a participating school in the Indiana Choice Scholarship Program pending approval by the Indiana Department of Education. The program provides scholarships to eligible Indiana students to offset tuition costs at participating schools. This transition will open up opportunities for admission to a wider array of families and strengthen Good Shepherd’s ability to further its mission to nurture the character and uniqueness of each child and form peacemakers who strive for the common good. 

To receive a Choice Scholarship, a student must have legal settlement in Indiana, be at least five years old by October 1st of the school year for which they are applying, and meet certain income eligibility requirements. As of 2023, about 97% of families in Indiana are now eligible.

Families may review income requirements from 2023–2024 here. Full information regarding the Indiana Choice Scholarship Program may be found here.

Choice Scholarships are one component of tuition assistance at Good Shepherd. The school also offers additional assistance from our internal financial aid program called the Family Support Fund. Families seeking FSF assistance must apply before February 15, 2024. Additional information about tuition assistance is available here. 

Families interested in applying to Good Shepherd should review our admissions process and take the first step of attending an information session. The application deadline for enrollment in the 2024–2025 school year is February 15, 2024. 

Founded in 2002, Good Shepherd is unique in the region for its Montessori curriculum, land-based learning program, Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, and Spanish/English dual-language program for preschoolers.
