School Notes Overview: |
"Frederick W. Gunn, teacher, individualist, outdoorsman, believed strength of character to be the goal of true education. In 1850 he established a school that cultivated scholarship, physical fitness, mutual respect and personal integrity - the four cornerstones on which character is built. The Gunnery of today still stands squarely on the principles of its founder. A skilled and committed faculty leads a diverse student body in a comprehensive college preparatory curriculum, rigorous athletics and a broad array of artistic and social activities. The values of citizenship and social responsibility are reinforced in a small, cohesive community which promotes maturity, dedication and lifelong accomplishment."
