Community Life

Inclusion and Belonging

Every school day, more than 475 students travel to Winsor from across Greater Boston to create a neighborhood on Pilgrim Road. Our students bring their whole selves to school—including their diverse talents, family backgrounds, and racial, religious, and gender identities.

Because our teachers and staff welcome students to leave no part of who they are behind, students can be themselves. They find acceptance, pass it on to their neighbors, and a community in which everyone feels like they belong.

Cultivating Connections

Students thrive in a supportive environment. We work to make everyone in our community feel valued and accepted.

Winsor Builds Community

We gather for weekly assembly
We unite around shared interests and identities
We connect with our city
We invest in the long term work of diversity, equity, and inclusion
