School Spotlight: Gould Academy

Gould is a small, coed, independent boarding school in the White Mountains of western Maine where faculty do their best to say 'yes' more than they say 'no,' where students have flexibility to try new things in new ways. Here, students celebrate each other, take risks, and experiment because we know that education is about the journey, about being in the NOW. We celebrate the creative process, not just the outcomes.

Watch this presentation to hear Kristen Kaschub, assistant head of school for enrollment, discuss Gould's supportive academic programs, which have a student-to-faculty ratio of 6 to 1, an immersive Four Point Program, thriving arts, and signature snow sports. This presentation is open to all interested families.
