At Kiara Karitas Montessori School, the Atrium of the Good Shepherd is a specially prepared space where children are invited to encounter Jesus, the Good Shepherd, in a personal and meaningful way. Through the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGS) method—rooted in Montessori principles—children engage their bodies, minds, and souls in a faith formation experience that is peaceful, hands-on, and developmentally appropriate.
