What's On at Winsor
Congratulations, Class of 2025!
Jun 10

On Thursday, Class VIII students presented their Independent Learning Experience projects to their advisory groups, advisors, many family members and friends! Then, on Friday, they presented their work to the entire school at the ILE fair, hosting stations for other students to ask questions about their research. The seniors use the month of May to work on an area of their choosing, on or off campus, that will positively develop their worldview and give them hands on experience in a specific field. The projects end with this presentation, followed by a dinner celebration of the Class of 2025!

Please join us in shaping the next generation of leaders by making a gift to the Winsor Fund today at the link in our bio. The Winsor Fund supports the extraordinary academics, robust arts programming, competitive athletics, and vibrant community that are hallmarks of the Winsor experience.
