Good Shepherd Catholic School, Northampton, has announced that a second kindergarten class will be added for the 2013-14 school year.

An increase in registrations and a desire to keep the kindergarten class at a smaller size while meeting demand prompted the move according to Good Shepherd Catholic School Principal Irene M. Quigley.

"In these days of shrinking Catholic school enrollment, we are blessed to be in a position to offer a double-graded quality kindergarten program with experienced educators," said Quigley. "Our program offers these young students a strong core curriculum in addition to weekly special classes in foreign language, computer technology, physical education, music, art and library. In addition, the program provides a classroom setting that allows for individualized instruction in a very caring and secure environment."

Registration for kindergarten and for first through eighth grades is currently open. Contact Good Shepherd Catholic School at 610-262-9171 or email mrsbrida@ gscs@gmail.com.
