Hit the Books Winter Term academics support a strong eighth grade curriculum. Our science and humanities programs prepare students for the rigors of high school while reinforcing the importance of process in writing, thought formation and lab science. Our math and foreign language programs are individualized to provide the most seamless entry and exit from their Winter Term experience.

Winter Term students reside on campus in Vogt House, their own dorm devoted to the program, and are involved in the tight-knit community that is undeniably Gould. Students attend daily morning assembly and Formal Dinner every Tuesday night.

They join in the fun of the Winter Carnival, Snow Ball and other storied school traditions. Community is critical to our environment at Gould Academy, and we make sure that our Winter Term students are at the heart of it.

The Winter Term Program is a great way for students to discover everything that Gould Academy has to offer, while training competitively in a sport they love. Learning is about more than just what you read in a classroom, and an education at Gould spans from the classrooms to the peaks at Sunday River.

Gould’s Winter Term Program begins after Thanksgiving Weekend and runs until the completion of competitions in March, with time off during the December holiday season. For more information, visit
