Provide your information to learn more about The Winchendon School.
The Winchendon School is an independent, college-preparatory boarding and day school with campuses in MA & NYC.
All images of students not in masks and not following social distancing guidelines pre-date our COVID-19 policies.
A Winchendon college-prep education has been and remains deeply personalized and highly collaborative, driven by student interests. Our students become graduates who are confident, adaptable, and self-directed learners.
With two campuses, our students benefit from all the possibilities that The Winchendon School can offer. Our Herald Square Campus in NYC offers unique opportunities for students. On our 326 acre Massachusetts campus you’ll find both boarding and day students. Best of all, students are welcome to move from one campus to the other. Try a semester in the city or a ColLAB in New England.

PERSONALIZED LEARNING
A Winchendon education is shaped by your interests and passions. We support your individual goals while providing an exceptional education and ensuring you are well prepared to excel at college and in the workplace.
IMPACTFUL CONNECTIONS
You will know your teachers well, and they will know you well. Winchendon teachers understand and support the different ways that students learn best. We will help you reach your full potential by understanding how you will be most successful.
PRACTICAL EXPERIENCES
Our micro-classes, which average 8-10 students or fewer, provide the flexibility to get out of the classroom and into the streets, where often the most meaningful learning occurs.
“The teachers here all want to make sure I’m successful, not just in the classroom, but in life.”
- Student, '24
The Winch Difference
We will Support You in Reaching as High as You Can Go.
Are you ready to take college-level calculus, study Irish literature or Arabic, learn a new coding language, or tackle AP Physics or Gov? If there is a course that we don’t offer, we’ll help you find it. This may be through one of our partnerships or in conjunction with one of the area colleges and universities.
Get Ready to Compete in Sports or Excel in the Arts or Technology in College.
Winchendon recognizes the importance of integrating these personal interests into your education. Our program is structured to provide you with the flexibility and time to pursue your passions to the highest level.
Learning for the Future – Your Future
We are focused on helping you learn the knowledge, skills and strategies that will be most important for you over the next 10-15 years – not what people thought was important 10 or 15 years ago.
5-night and 7-night Boarding Options at our MA Campus
While the majority students choose to board at the Winch, approximately 20% of the students commute from nearby communities. Day students and 5-night boarders are welcome on campus for all weekend activities and events.
Regular Self Reflection and Feedback is Critical to Your Success
Winch students regularly reflect on their recent work and consider their successes and struggles. Every week, your teachers will read, reflect, and respond to your ideas – so that you know whether you and your teachers are on the same page. This will make it easier for you to be more successful.
