- Gordon College was founded in 1889 as a missionary training institute. Originally located in Boston, the school is named for its founder, the Rev. Dr. A.J. Gordon, a prominent Boston clergyman of the late 1800s. Within 30 years Gordon had grown well beyond the facilities of the church in which it was founded. It had also outgrown facilities it used at the Newton Theological Institution so the school moved to the Fenway portion of Boston, into a facility that was financed through a very generous gift given by Martha Frost.
- Gordon College provides a well-rounded education in an environment where both mind and spirit can soar. Almost all Christian colleges put strong emphasis on behavioral expectations, chapel attendance, prayer before classes, etc. Gordon goes beyond this. Every professor integrates Christian thought and assumptions into classroom study.
- Gordon strives to provide students with the best in academics, campus life activities, dynamic athletic teams and unique mission opportunities-not only in the New England community, but across the country and globally. Gordon has received recognition in U.S. News & World Report as "one of the best national liberal arts colleges" and is one of only seven members of the Council of Christian Colleges (CCCU) to earn that distinction.
- At a private, residential, small Christian liberal-arts college like Gordon, a student's experience outside the classroom is further developed by strong participation and unique leadership opportunities as only one of the nation's top Christian colleges can provide-ministry, service-learning, student-employment, student government and leadership roles in residence life, activities, recreation programs and more.
