The Gunston School offers an intellectually rigorous, highly personalized, and nurturing college preparatory educational experience.
Established in 1911, the Gunston School is uniquely situated on 75 acres along the Corsica River and provides students with a personalized and rigorous academic experience, a strong sense of community, a focus on the balanced development of mind, body, and spirit, and an innovative curricular emphasis on global and environmental leadership. Gunston draws its student population from eight Maryland and Delaware counties as well as internationally from at least four countries.
Programs of note include Gunston’s nationally-recognized environmental programs including Chesapeake Bay Studies and the study of climate science. Additionally, the fully accredited Chesapeake Watershed Semester (CWS) is a single-semester, place-based academic program that cultivates student leaders who can promote regional and global environmental sustainability through their understanding of scientific, social, cultural, and political systems. The program is open to any juniors and seniors from any school.
Other programs include a nationally competitive robotics and rocketry team, and a popular arts program that features a pottery studio, wood sculpture, performing arts, and more. Additionally, various student leadership programs begin from day one at orientation and continue through all four years. Gunston offers 20 sports teams including sailing, crew, cross country, golf, volleyball, and triathlon, among others.
