Go for Greatness
The Winsor School has been turning curious, motivated learners into strong, purposeful women in the heart of Boston since 1886.
Why Winsor?
As the only grade 5–12 school for girls in Boston, we are experts in delivering a middle and high school education that builds girls’ competence and confidence across a rigorous curriculum.
About Academics
Cheerleaders for students’ curiosity, our faculty are highly educated and experienced in pushing and nurturing students to maximize their strengths and stretch their intellectual interests.
Meet the faculty
For more than a century, we’ve made a conscious choice to be in the city. So have our families, who come from more than 50 towns and cities throughout the greater Boston area to learn on our high-energy campus in Longwood.

Diverse and inclusive, Winsor is just the right size for developing friendships as our students figure out what their passions are. We’re proud to be a supportive community where students feel known and at home.

Each year, the Lower School closes school with a bittersweet ceremony where Ms. Pelmas reflects on the wonderful year of growth for Winsor’s Class I-IV. The school then wishes well to the Class IVs as they pursue a new journey in high school. Read more about this year’s closing ceremony at the link in our bio.
