About The Area

LIFE IN NEW ENGLAND
New England has been the home to many great thinkers over the years. In our town of Wenham, you're just a short drive - and even walk - away from numerous historical grounds, museums and landmarks. There's something about the drastic change of seasons that offers a deep breath of fresh air, and a distinct way of life for those who call it home for any period of time.

Coastline to the Green Line
The grounds surrounding campus offer hundreds of acres of trails, ponds and diverse ecosystems that give you the opportunity to become good stewards of the surrounding nature. Our unique placement 30 minutes north of Boston and three miles from the Atlantic Ocean offers everything from quiet woods and rolling ocean waves to one of the top ten metropolitan areas in the U.S. in just a short drive.

Neighboring towns are known for their low crime rates and offer their own personalities for students to identify with as well. Our dedicated Public Safety officers and the reputation of the North Shore combine to make Gordon one of the safest campuses in the country.
