Educate and train students with intellectual and developmental disabilities
Shepherds College is the country's leading, fully-accredited post-secondary education program for students with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The college equips students to reach Appropriate Independence through the development of vocational, social and life skills. As a faith-based school, spiritual growth is encouraged through weekly chapel meetings, Bible studies, attendance at local churches, and student-led prayer groups. The school pursues excellence in all its operations, evidenced by its exceptional faculty and staff, the new student housing facilities, customized curriculum, and its investment in impacting the disability community through strategic leadership training. Operations are funded primarily from payment for tuition fees with contributions from Shepherds Foundation.
Shepherds' core values center around the themes of Honoring God and Valuing People. Programming for clients as well as care for the staff is filtered around these values. 4 individuals reside near Shepherds and enjoy year-round community supportive care in their homes.
