At GFA, we empower students to do the hard, thrilling, essential work of shaping their own world, of building their own future. Guided by our motto, “Each for All,” and supported by dedicated faculty mentors, each of our 750+ students, joining us from 30 towns across Fairfield and Westchester Counties, is seen, known, and valued.

Our rigorous and responsive academic program emphasizes small class sizes, real-world learning, and a strong sense of community built on relationships among students, teachers, and ideas. We believe everyone is a learner and that learning is most powerful in an authentically inclusive environment where our core values of passion, integrity, empathy, curiosity, and excellence come to life. 

Founded in 1925, GFA has spent the last century preparing courageous, purpose-driven, and passionate students for lives of purpose. When you visit GFA, you'll discover that you and your voice, your ideas, and your future belong here too.
