Gould is more than a traditional college prep school
Our students are actively involved in shaping their own education, taking advantage of opportunities that extend learning beyond the classroom and onto the stage, into the field, rivers, mountains, communities, and the world. We think of choice as something additive; Gould students don’t choose this or that, they choose this AND that.
At Gould, we understand that each student is different.

One Student at a Time
Our small size, dedicated faculty, and approach to teaching and learning allow us to meet students along their individual continuum of academic and social development.
Gould juniors participated in a two-week exchange in the company of correspondents from the Lycée Marguerite de Valois in Angoulême, France. Our students lived with families for a week in which they attended classes, toured Angoulême, Cognac, Royan, and spent two wonderful days in Bordeaux!
[Gould] is moving in new and innovative directions; the IDEAS Center and the design-thinking curriculum are an amazing asset for the school.

I knew that if I wanted to make moves for my skiing and for academics that Gould would be the right place. Gould was the perfect balance between academics and training.

People are kind here, and thinking back, the Gould community has fostered my appreciation towards my school, my life, and the people around me.
Gould is a small, co-ed, independent boarding school for grades 8-PG. We are passionate about preparing academically motivated students for college, helping them to become independent-minded, ethical citizens who will lead lives of purpose, action, excellence, and compassion in a dynamic world.
