The Gunston School

The Gunston School is an independent, nonprofit, nonsectarian, coeducational, college preparatory high school located in Centreville, Maryland. Gunston draws students from seven Maryland counties: Queen Anne's, Kent, Talbot, Dorchester, Anne Arundel, Cecil, Caroline, and Delaware. There is also a small international student population that resides near the school with host families.

In the later 90s, the school experienced a decline in admissions, reportedly due to the decline in demand for gender-based boarding schools. Gunston administration then made the decision in 1995 to rebrand as a coeducational day school. The Gunston Day School was led by Jeffrey Wordworth in the early 2000s until his death in 2009. During his time as Headmaster Woodworth, he oversaw the addition of a crew team, the renovation of Middleton House, and the implementation of an international recruitment effort. His assistant headmaster, Christie Grabis, served as Interim Headmaster from 2009 to 2010.
