gogunn Washington CT ;

The Frederick Gunn School founded in 1850 is a coed boarding and day school for students in grades 912 as well as a postgraduate year. Mr. Gunn had a deep appreciation for the natural world believing that in nature students understand themselves as humans and their place in the world. He took a principled stand against slavery and spurred students (and the town at large) to examine their beliefs. In addition to the habits and skills students will need in college and life beyond we teach them to follow Mr. Gunns example: to cultivate wisdom to be trailblazers to act with conviction and to value character as highly as intellect and achievement. ;
