The Winchendon School is a coeducational college preparatory school that offers full boarding and day programs. Our School's goal is to provide students with the outlook, self-confidence, and academic background necessary to be successful after graduation
Our School is located on 326 acres which include an 18-hole tournament-level golf course, playing fields, and tennis courts. New facilities include comfortable, modern dormitories, dining hall, and six academic buildings- including a science building, library and classroom complex, and buildings for the visual and performing arts.
Our school's philosophy, which limits class size, is reflected in the design of the academic room- all are of seminar size. The deciding factors enabling a student to enter Winchendon are academic potential and good character. Upon entry, each student is administered diagnostic tests, which along with interviews, allows us to identify the best program for the student. When indicated, such a program may include remedial or tutorial sessions in order to aggressively address weaknesses in study skill areas. The stress on individual attention includes a daily review of achievement between student and advisor, and weekly reports to parents. The highly individualized approach succeeds in sending most members of each year's graduating class on to college.
Our school provides a structured environment, promoting traditional standards of behavior and comportment (dress code, no-smoking policy). Equally important are those elements of school life which prepare the student to meet his or her responsibilities as a mature citizen. All students have the opportunity to become involved with Student Government, Dormitory Proctorship, Judicial Board, and other student-faculty committees. Each student is required to participate in the sports program in each season. Athletic facilities include several playing fields and a gymnasium. The school also uses the town's Wendell P. Clark Athletic Center with its covered hockey rink and Olympic-sized swimming pool. School accreditations: NEASC - Profile last updated: 11/20/2008
