Upcoming admissions events

At Gordon, we build an authentic sense of curiosity, awe and wonder in children. Our students do not pursue learning for an external reward; they learn because they want to understand the world. And Gordon’s 12 acre campus is the backdrop to this experiential and hands-on learning experience.

Registration has passed.

At Gordon, children can remain children, in the best possible sense, until they graduate from eighth grade. During these critical years, Gordon students take more risks, try more activities, and grow into confident, empathic and engaged leaders. Younger students learn directly from older peers, and our older students learn to be leaders and models. The nursery to eighth grade structure allows Gordon to connect children across age levels, promoting a schoolwide sense of community and making key social skills, like empathy and kindness, part of the day-to-day experience.

In 1910, Gordon’s founder Dr. Helen West Cooke opened a school grounded in the belief that the education of a child requires the development of mind, body, heart, and spirit. And we know children learn best when they know how to manage their feelings and personal relationships. Gordon addresses this reality head-on, engaging students to know themselves well and to consider the perspectives and experiences of others through our social emotional and multicultural practice. The result of which is students who are empowered to advocate for themselves, to have open and well-informed discussions, and to make choices that are right for them.
