The Gordon School was founded by Dr. Helen West Cooke in 1910 in her home in Providence’s East Side. The school relocated to its current campus in 1963. The 1963 campus was designed by William Warner, the architect that went on to create several high-profile area projects, including Providence's Waterplace Park and the iWay Bridge. It was the first coeducational independent school in Rhode Island. A regulation playing field was extensively renovated during the summer of 2006. From 2010 to 2015, the Teacher Residency Program at Gordon School and Roger Williams University offered a one-year master's degree program.
