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.

He discovered how the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife (MDIFW) monitors rivers, and he learned about Edmund Muskie, the Clean Water Act of 1972, and the restoration of the Androscoggin River during his research. This planted the seed for his Senior Four Point project, three years in the making.Read More
