Our son graduated from Gould in 2014. He had a tremendous experience in all areas of his education. He went on to play baseball at Kenyon College and graduated with degrees in Biology and Chemistry. After spending a year as a cellar man at a brewery, he switched course and began his journey towards Physician Assistant school. He graduated this past August from Quinnipiac and starts work at Tufts Medical Center in January. Gould played a huge roll in making him the person he is today. We are so thankful and appreciative.

As a four-year student of Gould Academy, my take on this school has changed drastically. From being a freshman, I had no idea what it was like to go to a college prep school. I thought that it was going to be just an ordinary school experience but it was way more than that. From the sports, education, and cool classes you could take down in the ideas center. This was not something that you would find in your normal school schedule. If you are looking for a good prep school for your kid I recommend this school for you.

The worst part about the experience would be the schools strict rules for boarding students, and because of this many kids have become day students. The best part would be the people, you will find your group if you come 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...
