Gould Academy

Nestled in the beautiful Western Mountains of Maine, Gould promotes intellectual exploration and personal growth through a unique blend of rigorous academics and experiential learning. Here, students challenge their assumptions in a safe, nurturing environment, whether it’s through our renowned snow sports programs, cutting-edge Maker Space, or our one-of-a-kind experiential program. At Gould, we don’t just prepare students for a test—we prepare them for life. More than a school, Gould is an adventure offering a dynamic blend of challenging academics, competitive sports, and hands-on learning experiences that prepare students for the real world. Maybe you’d like to explore the school’s 40 kilometers of trails on your mountain bike or build your own skis in the IDEAS Center. Or you could travel to China, Ecuador, Peru, or Tanzania with the Ninth Grade Four Point immersion experience. Here, students celebrate each other, take risks, experiment, because we know that education is about the journey, about being in the now. We celebrate the creative process, not just the outcomes. Students thrive in Gould’s college prep setting thanks to close, collegial relationships with their instructors and counselors, and a vast network of alumni and visiting professionals who come to campus and work with students each and every year. Gould Academy guides students to be creative, courageous and resilient and to lead lives of fulfillment and purpose.
