The Academic Goal

The Academy has maintained its tradition of preparing students academically and socially for college for more than two centuries. During that time, the number, variety and geographical diversity of colleges attended by GDA graduates has increased dramatically.

In order to meet the highly specialized demands of college admissions, Governor Dummer Academy maintains a full-time office staffed by professionals well-versed in that field. The college counseling office is overseen by Director of College Counseling Janet Adams-Wall, who has nearly 20 years experience working with students, parents and faculty advisors to evaluate individual academic progress and guide students toward their college and career goals. As a dormitory parent, student advisor and advisor to the various clubs and organizations on campus, Ms. Adams-Wall remains close to the students throughout their GDA careers.
