Our Story
Believing that all truth is a manifestation of God’s sovereignty in creation, we desire to establish a school that in its ultimate purpose glorifies and reveals God.
Our mission is to equip all students with the grit and zeal to excel in a global world, and to rely upon their faith in Jesus Christ to lead purposeful lives and become contributing members of society.
At Shepherd of God Christian Academy, our vision is to cultivate a Christ centered learning environment where God is at the center of everything we do and every student is given the opportunity to succeed.
We are committed to excellence in education, with focused, dedicated, and accountable teachers who recognize that teaching is more than a profession. It is an opportunity to impact the lives and future of children.
We strive to pursue excellence as modeled by Christ, encouraging our students and staff to demonstrate integrity, discipline, compassion, responsibility, and a commitment to becoming their very best.
We believe every child can learn and every child deserves to be seen, supported, challenged, and valued. We are committed to meeting students where they are academically, socially, and spiritually while providing the individualized support necessary for them to grow.
GOD FIRST
God remains the foundation of our school, our decisions, our teaching, and our relationships.
STUDENT SUCCESS
Every decision we make should ultimately support the academic, personal, and spiritual success of our students.
TEACHER EXCELLENCE
Our teachers will be prepared, focused, consistent, accountable, and committed to helping every student reach their potential.
EXCELLENCE LIKE CHRIST
We will not settle for simply doing enough. We will pursue excellence in our academics, leadership, classrooms, campus, communication, and service.
A PLACE FOR EVERY CHILD
We recognize that children learn differently. We will work to provide an environment where students with different abilities, learning styles, backgrounds, and academic needs have opportunities to thrive.
God at the Center. Students First. Teachers Focused. Excellence Expected. Every Child Valued.

-Director
Janallie Toomer is a committed educator and passionate entrepreneur who, after receiving an unexpected diagnosis for her child, opened a school in Florida City, Florida, in 2012. When asked about the inspiration behind opening Shepherd of God Christian Academy, she reflected on her child’s experience in the public school system. He missed quite a bit of school due to the illness of sickle cell anemia and, naturally, this caused him to fall behind. It became quickly apparent that his current educational facility was not as dedicated to him as much as he, and other children with disabilities, deserved. She opened Shepherd of God Christian Academy under the mission to serve a variety of students from all walks of life.
With over 12 years of experience in Education, she is fiercely adamant about providing each of her students the highest level of education they deserve and require for a fruitful future. Even with a full decade in Education under her belt, Mrs. Toomer wholeheartedly believes she was called upon by God to offer her love and knowledge to the underserved or disabled children of her community. In fact, she connects deeply with Bible verse Luke 12:48 which states, “To whom much is given, much will be required.” Mrs. Toomer works tirelessly to meet the needs of the children and staff members of her school, and she is unwavering in her compassion for each and every one of them.
Likewise, the staff at her school are dedicated to helping those who did not thrive well in the public school system, students with learning disabilities, and even students who are experiencing gaps in their Education. Mrs.Toomer is proud of the fact that each teacher and staff member in her school demonstrates a heightened sense of caring and dedication to the students they serve. Mrs. Toomer’s professional goal for her school is to instill the value within her students of a strong work ethic and to always leave the world better than how they found it. In addition, she strives to imprint a sense of emotional intelligence on all of her students so they may grow up to love and respect people from all walks of life.
-Assistant Principal
“Because of my love to teach young children is the reason I continued my journey in the field of early childhood education. After completing my education with Miami-Dade Junior College, with my AA/AS Certificates, I attended Nova Southeastern University to complete my BS Degree in early childhood and Elementary Education. I have always enjoyed teaching children the basics of life with kid songs and the fundamentals of reading and writing as they grow and develop in an environment they understand.”
