Expect Greatness At
GFA’s education is innovative as well as traditional. It takes place in the classroom, in the ecosystems just outside our doors, and digitally across the globe. This is an extraordinary school where over time, students learn to take ownership of their education and to partner with teachers and fellow students in learning to think critically, collaborate, and communicate.

Pursue your passions
On the athletic field, in the lab, on stage, or at the Harkness table, discover hidden talents and explore new worlds.
Beyond the Classroom
A GFA education can take you anywhere: from the salt marsh in our back yard, to a trip abroad. Learning doesn't stop at the classroom door.

The day before her 25th birthday, she had no way of guessing that her life was about to change forever.
"It's going to take time, but I will be independent, I will be happy, I will be OK, and that has been the driving force."
