Parents, catechists, religious educators, clergy, and other interested adults are drawn to the very rich, retreat-like courses in Catechesis of the Good Shepherd.
There are three levels of courses, focusing on children ages 3-6, 6-9, and 9-12. Everyone begins with the Level I course, which is foundational to becoming attuned to the religious life of the child.
All courses cover age-appropriate themes for children from the Bible and liturgy, the purpose and use of the handmade materials, an introduction to the atrium, experience in presenting materials, and help in preparing a personal handbook (the catechist "album").
Courses are offered throughout the country and in varied formats. The National Association of the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd grants a certificate upon completion of each approved course.

"If we want to help the child draw nearer to God, we should with patience and courage seek to go always closer to the vital nucleus of things. This requires study and prayer. The child will be our teacher if we know how to observe."
-- Sofia Cavalletti
