At GSA,
YOU belong.
“The GSA community - staff, students and families - represent our unique coastal community. Some of us have been here for generations and some are relative newcomers, but we all have some special love for this place. GSA is built by and for this community, and it feels like that when you are here!”
We serve teenagers from across the Blue Hill Peninsula and beyond with a comprehensive high school education that honors both tradition and innovation. Our small size is our strength—every student is known, valued, and challenged to reach their full potential in an environment where individual attention isn't just possible, it's inevitable.
Our commitment spans four pillars: rigorous academics that prepare students for college and career success, specific curricula tailored to students who wish to pursue non-traditional journeys following graduation, a vibrant arts program that celebrates creativity and self-expression, and competitive athletics that build character and community pride. Whether students find their passion in advanced mathematics, welding, theater productions, visual arts, or on our playing fields, they discover excellence through dedicated pursuit and hands-on instruction.
Our graduates carry forward a unique blend of academic preparation and the enduring qualities that mark our region: independence, resourcefulness, and an abiding connection to place. As we look toward our next century of service, we remain committed to providing an education as authentic as the tides that shape our shores.
“I am grateful to the teachers at George Steven’s Academy for providing an education to my two sons who attended GSA 2014 - 2019.
Having a high school in our tight knit community that allowed them to grow, learn, and figure out their path in life was a support to me as a single mother. I am beyond proud of the young successful men they have become.”

“GSA is the right choice for our two kids. We love that the school offers a full slate of academic AP courses and also offers tactile classes like woodworking, art, welding, and the Skippers program. This hands-on process fosters critical thinking.”

“My children had different experiences at GSA, which is what I love so much about the school- GSA catered to each of their unique needs and desires. My husband and I felt it was important for them to attend school in our community, for them to be grounded in their community as young citizens. ”

“We chose GSA because of its academic rigor and connectedness to our community. Our children left GSA with the most important tool for any high school graduate: an excitement to learn more.”
