Good Shepherd Academy's mission is to establish a bilingual coed residential secondary/high school for 350 students in Bafut, Cameroon. The Academy will emphasize academic excellence integrating sustainable agriculture, physical and emotional well-being, and spiritual growth. Beginning in 2016 with Forms 1 & 2 (US Grades 6 & 7), this Christian school will enroll students of diverse ethnic, cultural, religious, and socio-economic backgrounds. CORE VALUES
Christian Identity
Good Shepherd Academy welcomes students of diverse ethnic, cultural, religious and socio-economic backgrounds while maintaining its core identity as a Christian institution. GSA strives to live into the gospel call so that “barriers which divide us may crumble, suspicions disappear, and hatreds cease; that our divisions being healed, we may live in justice and peace.” (Episcopal Book of Common Prayer, p. 823).
