The Joy of Learning
Winsor is known among Boston private schools as an academically serious place. Our reputation attracts students who love everything about learning, from taking in new information and asking questions to tackling problems with no obvious solutions. The consistent effort it takes to face challenges and overcome them is at the heart of the Winsor experience. It is an education that turns bright thinkers into bold doers. We know it’s worth it.
Meaningful Connections
Winsor teachers delight in sharing their expertise. Combine professional educators with girls and young women who are all eager to learn, and you get school days that leave everyone enthusiastic for more.
“Winsor is a community that cares about the minds and hearts of our students. We strive to help our students ask questions, explore, take risks, and become their best selves.”
Five Elements of a Winsor Education
We offer a rigorous curriculum that delves deep into subject matter, and we set and maintain high standards for achievement in every academic department, building each student’s capacity to excel in college and after. What does that look like in Lower School and Upper School? Explore to find out.
Lower School (Classes I–IV/Grades 5–8)
Personal attention, proven strategies, academic resources, wellness programming, and trusted guidance give girls the confidence to go for greatness at every turn. Access the Winsor Lower School curriculum online, complete with course descriptions and requirements.
Upper School (Classes V–VIII/Grades 9–12)
Bring classrooms of engaged students together with energizing teachers, and you get a truly exhilarating educational experience. We offer more than excellent preparation for college. We offer a learning environment that sparks ideas and new connections every day.
Pursuing and realizing aspirations is, undoubtedly, hard work. Winsor’s teachers make doing the work fun. Every teacher ensures that, over time, no matter their inherent gifts and talents, each student emerges academically stronger, more competent, and more confident.
No one can perform at their peak every day. Going for greatness goes hand-in-hand with falling short. Everyone struggles through some assignments and juggles competing demands with varying degrees of grace from one day to the next. We don’t ask for perfection. Everyone makes mistakes, and no one thrives without intentional care.
Getting off campus to learn, whether in Boston or during a semester abroad or away, is mind-expanding. It also reflects our Principles of Global Responsibility, which spell out what we believe global citizenship entails.
