Gould Academy

About

Gould is more than just a school; it is a transformative experience that prepares students for a life of fulfillment and purpose.

Gould’s mission guides students to be “creative, courageous, and resilient,” inspiring academic excellence and an adventurous spirit. Our interdisciplinary curriculum challenges students to think critically and solve problems creatively, while our close-knit community fosters meaningful relationships and personal growth.

Located in the extraordinary mountain setting of Bethel, Maine, Gould provides a unique environment where students dare, dream, discover, and achieve their potential. Students explore the outdoors and learn about the natural world in the mountains, rivers, and lakes surrounding our campus. Our close partners at Sunday River Resort provide students an unmatched opportunity to follow both recreational and competitive paths while discovering and developing a lifelong passion for snow sports and healthy lifestyles.

Gould’s innovative faculty is committed to fostering curiosity and kindness, creating a welcoming community where students embark on a journey of self-discovery and emerge as confident, compassionate leaders prepared to impact their world.
