I have had a good experience at Gould and I am grateful for all the amazing opportunities I have had here. I wish Gould didn't take so much time out of my life though.

Gould is an amazing place to go to high school. Having all the resources that you will ever need makes it so easy to go here. Getting to ski every morning in the winter is one of my favorite parts about going here. Another part that I love about Gould is the four-point programming. Freshman year, I got to travel abroad, and sophomore year, you got to do art and community service as a day student; I got to move into the dorm as well for the week. Four points are one of the highlights for the year. Getting to have these experiences, these things, makes Gould such an amazing place to be. Gould is in Bethel, ME. Bethel, it is such a cool community to be a part of, such an amazing community. Overall, Gould is just an amazing community to be a part of. Gould has changed my life for the better, and I am so lucky to go here.

My son, David George Flautt, a graduate of Gould, was well-educated and well-served in his personal development in the somewhat stormy nineteen seventies. I had very good memories of Gould myself, having stayed in their dormitories on several occasions as a fellow of the NTL Institute of Washington...
