Strategic Plan 2024
New Mission, Vision and Values
In mid-June, the Strategic Design Team presented to the Gould Board of Trustees a final version of the Mission, Vision, and Values. We are proud to share this, as it will become formative in realizing our vision for Gould and decision-making going forward.
Mission
Gould Academy guides students to be creative, courageous and resilient and to lead lives of fulfillment and purpose.

A Gould education is transformative. Students build meaningful relationships in our community, and learn through a challenging interdisciplinary curriculum. Our extraordinary mountain setting and innovative educators provide the environment, time, and mentorship for young people to discover and fulfill their potential.
