Description

Located in the heart of Massachusetts, The Winchendon School’s boarding and day campus is surrounded by 326 pristine acres nestled over Mount Monadnock. Close to lakes, skiing, art, and theater, the campus has updated fitness centers, a new E-Sports room, and new Soccer/Lacrosse & Baseball/Softball turf fields. Our five-night boarding option, for those living within 75 mi from campus, provides a family with all of the advantages of a boarding school with the option of weekends at home. “The Winchendon Way” is highly personalized with class sizes between 7-9 students. Our students thrive in this individualized learning environment. Every Winchendon student benefits from a school that has multiple campuses- our first satellite campus is located in the heart of NYC in Herald Square. At Winchendon, your teachers will guide, support, and coach you in achieving your very best by providing you with a highly engaging and individualized high school experience.

Unique Characteristics

The Lloyd Harvey Hatch Center for Learning Strategies provides students with significant unrealized potential the opportunity to get back on track and thrive. Our commitment to support students with different learning styles, challenges, and profiles has been the cornerstone of the school for nearly 100 years. The programs offered through the Hatch Center provide an independently designed path for students to achieve independent success. ColLAB’s, short for Collaborative Laboratory, are elective style workshops that cumulate in interdisciplinary, immersive, collaborative projects. These are opportunities for real world, hands-on learning experiences. During this time students have created inventions, started companies, and traveled the world. Check out our recent graduate who “made a deal” on the tv show The Shark Tank!
