From The Winchendon School
Our students may have come from public schools, homeschools, and private schools, but they all found themselves at The Winchendon School.
Here, they discovered community, the support they wanted to try something new, and an innovative high school curriculum. The best part though, is they are going on to seriously great colleges.
You will too.

I have loved my high school years at the Winchendon school. The education was phenomenal and the opportunities I had are like no other school. I took part in different colabs which involved living as a homeless person, recycling wood from the forest into furniture pieces, up cycling clothes to trendy styles and traveling to Georgia to work in a non profit. I feel if I was in a public high school I wouldn’t have had these opportunities. It really changed my outlook and my passion. I would highly recommend the Winchendon school to anyone who is looking to get more than just a standard education!
Our two children, who have different learning styles and personalities, each have had wonderful experiences at The Winchendon School. The school advertises a tailored and meaningful experience, that can bring a child forward no matter the goals, and this they truly delivered. The faculty and staff are extremely open to partnering with parents to ensure that the students are getting the most out of their experience. Whether the goals for the student are academic, gaining independence, extending or supporting their learning or promoting social and recreational opportunities, the openness and willingness to provide the students opportunities is there. One of our children recently graduated from Winch and got into her first choice college. She was well prepared for the college experiences and demands.
I cannot rave enough about this school. Our daughter struggles with learning differences, and had been attending a "special school" that had support for her. She outgrew the tiny school and we moved her to Winch. She had to work really hard to get her rigor to match the academics at Winchendon, and with the help of the learning advocacy program, she thrived!!! Now, she is at her stretch college, and doing amazingly well. She texted me the other day that 4 friends from the other school had all failed out of their first year of college, all totally overwhelmed and feeling unprepared! Our daughter owes everything to Winchendon: the chance to find confidence inside of a challenge, affirmation that she is capable of anything, and patience/love/support from the staff which is just AMAZING. They truly seem to know and love KIDS, and practice immense amounts of understanding and compassion when anyone is having a rough one. THANK YOU WINCHENDON! We will always love you!
