Summary: Gould students test new ideas, answer essential questions, and challenge assumptions - they leave their comfort zones and discover new fields of knowledge. They are led into the unknown and compelled to risk, where they discover hidden talents and new interests.

Summary: Inspiration runs deep at Gould, and we’re ready to help you develop your artistic talents. Students may choose from over 10 diverse Visual Arts electives ranging from painting and ceramics to blacksmithing and digital photography. The Owen Art Gallery provides quality exhibit space for our aspiring artists and established alumni artists to share their work with the greater community. For students who want to pursue their artistic endeavors beyond Gould, dedicated faculty members and College Counseling will guide them through the portfolio development process. Students who have discovered their artistic passions at Gould have gone on to schools including the Rhode Island School of Design and Savannah College of Art and Design. From mountain biking to basketball to lacrosse and skateboarding, to equestrian and ski patrol, we offer a very diverse selection of competitive sports so that each student may discover or continue to develop his or her passion. We believe that learning through experience is not only valuable for our students, but an essential part of their journey while here, which is why we require all of our students to participate in a sport or activity each trimester.
