The Progressive Program
GMC is home to an educational tract known as the Progressive Program. Based on the ideas of philosopher John Dewey and formed on a philosophy similar to that of Goddard College — a Vermont institution recognized for its dedication to progressive education— the students in the program define their own education goals and work with faculty members individually to meet them.
