Global and Off-Campus Opportunities

Winsor opens girls’ eyes to the world and to “the fundamental interdependence of all people.” While thinking globally begins in the classroom, an array of programs on and off campus expands girls’ minds.

Exchanges and trips

Winsor encourages global citizenship through a growing array of international opportunities, including:

  • Exchange with Greentown School in Hangzhou, China
  • Exchange with Victor Duruy School in Paris
  • Eighth-grade French trip to Quebec

Concert tours, community service trips, and speaking competitions have also taken girls around the globe from the Dominican Republic to Italy to South Africa.

“The core of a great education is exchange—the exchange of ideas, ideas that lead to knowledge, enlightenment, understanding and progress.”

Rachel Friis Stettler

Guest speakers and performers

Guest speakers and assemblies also bring the world to Winsor. These offer equally powerful lessons and varying perspectives about culture, politics, the environment and more. 

Thinking globally

At Winsor, thinking globally means thinking about the skills, habits of mind, attitudes, and aptitudes that the 21st century will demand: to get along with many types of people, to understand many cultures, to be flexible and resilient.

The world will value—and need—the independent thinking, creativity, communication skills and technological acumen of Winsor women.

Semester Programs

Closer to home, select Winsor girls enjoy a semester away at two of the country’s leading educational programs.

  • The Mountain School enables juniors to spend four months on a working organic farm in rural Vermont.
  • CITYterm, based at the Masters School, admits juniors and seniors and uses New York City as its classroom and laboratory.
