Gunston is a tight knit community with teachers who are trained to care. There is a lot of talk about teachers always being there to help but I have had a hard time connecting. I do not think it is worth what it costs considering nothing has stuck out to me as being done for the students. It has a very nice campus but the lunch is horrible and the classes are average.

The Gunston School is set on the beautiful Chesapeake Bay on the Corsica River. The school provides many opportunities for community engagement and leadership. In general, the students and faculty are kind and helpful to all. They seriously have provided me with an amazing education but one has to make the most of their experience.

Financial aid is only given to students who qualify. While I do not know the exact qualifications, I k...

Unfortunately for the student who posted her comment just before mine, she is entirely wrong. Gunston gives out 700,000$ in financial aid a year! And 45% of student receive that financial aid. Gunston is a terrific school and the teachers as well as the students are incredible!! Gunston is such an a...
