Founded in 1850 by abolitionist, individualist and outdoorsman Frederick Gunn, The Gunnery is a coeducational college preparatory boarding and day school for students in grades 9 through 12/post-graduate. The Gunnery’s 220 acre campus is tucked away in the historic town of Washington in the rolling hills of Western Connecticut.Dedicated teacher-mentor-coaches challenge students to reach their full potential in a home-like setting where character and citizenship are valued as much as intellect and achievement. Individualized attention and high expectations help young learners develop not only the skills and confidence they will need in college, but also the moral compass and love of learning that will serve them well in life. The school attracts ambitious, academically curious students who will both shine as unique individuals and thrive as contributing members of a deeply connected community. By the time they graduate, Gunnery students have become well rounded, grounded young adults with a sharpened sense of who they are and who they want to become.

Summary: The college process is an exciting time in a Gunnery student’s life that culminates in choosing a college or university to build upon their Gunnery education. How a student goes about making that decision is as important as the decision itself. For many students, the choice is the first major decision in their life for which they will have almost complete control. At The Gunnery, each student works with one of our three full-time college counselors in a carefully constructed process. The Gunnery College Office collaborates with students and parents to engage in honest self-reflection, which is the cornerstone of an enjoyable and productive college process. Together, we research appropriate colleges that merit further investigation by students. We encourage a healthy perspective with the goal of developing a well-balanced list that leaves everybody involved excited about not only the outcome, but the process as well. Gunnery College Counselors are heavily involved in The Gunnery community which gives them the opportunity to get to know each college advisee personally and uniquely equips them to guide students through the college process to find the right individual fit for them.
