Gould: Explore. Connect. Grow.

At Gould Academy, we believe education thrives at the intersection of academic excellence, experiential learning, and community engagement. Nestled at the edge of the White Mountains our 456-acre campus serves as a gateway to intellectual exploration, personal discovery, and transformative experiences. Here, education is not transactional—it’s boldly transformational, driven by a shared commitment to kindness, courage, creativity, and curiosity.

Our dedicated team of educators—deeply invested in fostering a supportive, inclusive environment—work closely with students to cultivate confidence, purpose, and empathy. At Gould, the classroom is just one chapter in a much larger story. Our mountain campus at Sunday River, access to the world-class Maine Mineral and Gem Museum, the National Forest lands that surround us, and partnerships with local organizations offer students opportunities to explore, connect, contribute, and grow in ways that extend far beyond campus boundaries.

At Gould, we’re not just preparing students for diplomas—we’re preparing them to become thoughtful citizens, collaborative leaders, and lifelong learners ready to make a meaningful difference in their communities and beyond.
