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.

“This will allow me to see where I stack up on a world scale. Beyond that, it'll give me opportunities in college, and it gives me more exposure,” says Ethan. “It's a great opportunity to train against some of the best kids in the world and prepares me for representing Ireland at future events like World Juniors, or maybe in the Olympics, who knows.”
