The Winchendon School Reviews

Our children were given more opportunities and were taught how to learn in a smarter way, thereby opening up more college possibilities. They would not be in their highly selective colleges now if they hadn't gone to The Winchendon School. The college counseling was outstanding and our sons received significant merit scholarships we think are a direct reflection of the quality education they received at Winchendon. Both our kids were 4year seniors who played a sport, joined clubs, and still speak of the community at Winchendon.

The Winchendon School will always have a place in my heart and play a role in the adult I have become today. It helped me realize my potential and my capabilities in so many ways. I met some of my best friends and some of the most interesting and diverse people during my time at the winch. Your experience at this school will not always be the easiest or struggle free but it will be authentic and you will learn how to overcome, how to thrive in college and how to be a well rounded adult. You will love your high school experience and be a proud alumni after graduation.
The individualized learning style at the Winchendon School helped me open up more as a student. I wasn't scared to speak up, which helped me become more confident. I also became a three sport athlete when, before, I had not played any sports in school. The diverse population broadened my mind to many cultures, and I got to make friends from countries all over the world. The strict business-like dress code prepared me for the professional world, and I really treasure the time that I had there.
