School Mission Statement

The mission of The Gow School is to maintain and operate an independent, not-for-profit boarding school for the education of young men, grades 7-12, using a college preparatory curriculum with emphasis on the remediation of dyslexia through Reconstructive Language.

School Background During his first twenty years of teaching, Peter Gow, Jr. was fascinated by intelligent students who encountered difficulty with print language in school. He theorized that small classes and intensive drill would help these students to succeed, and was industrious enough to put his theories into practice. In 1926, he moved his family to South Wales, New York, where he converted a farm into a boarding school for young men. Shortly after the school opened, Peter Gow, Jr. met Dr. Samuel T. Orton, a neurologist, whose research indicated that a phonetic approach was the best way to educate those suffering from "specific language disabilities". Peter Gow at once became a pioneer in this field, and soon devoted all of his work to study of this issue.
