Winsor School

Email Admissions

Winsor is a diverse, vibrant community that values intellectual curiosity, authentic engagement and personal integrity. We challenge our students to lead lives of purpose as responsible, generous-minded people.

Winsor honors each community member’s ethnicity, race, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, age, and physical and mental ability. The school is committed to providing a safe, supportive setting so that students have the opportunity to explore and to clarify their own beliefs and values, to take risks, and to think and speak for themselves. Winsor recognizes the importance of communication and of encouraging dialogue among all constituencies.

To teach these values, which flow from the mission of the Winsor School – preparing young women to pursue their aspirations and to contribute to the world – the school is:

  • consciously fostering an environment of respect and inclusion through a wide array of community-building programs
  • continuing to build an inclusive curriculum
  • supporting on-going professional development for faculty and staff
  • striving to effectively engage a range of learning styles
  • promoting equity among all the constituencies of the School
  • responding to individual and institutional prejudices, both overt and subtle
  • actively seeking to dismantle systems of oppression; and
  • offering a variety of ways of participating in and contributing to the wider community

The Winsor School believes that a critical dimension of academic excellence in the 21st century is the preparation for responsible participation in the global community.

The forces of globalization now ensure that individuals and communities separated by vast geographic distances and cultural differences are increasingly interconnected and interdependent. Distant peoples and events shape local worlds, while at the same time individual and community decisions–made at Winsor, in Boston, or in New England–often have an impact on wider social and ecological environments.

In preparing its students to act responsibly in this interconnected and interdependent world, The Winsor School is committed to ensuring that its students not only understand the nature of globalization but also appreciate the personal stakes and responsibilities they have as global citizens.

The Winsor School’s mission is to educate girls to be intellectually curious, motivated, and generous-minded. Founded in 1886, the school was created out of the community’s collective desire to help young women overcome the challenges they faced in gaining access to education and in becoming independent citizens. Today, Winsor responds to evolving societal demands by bringing together a world-class faculty with ambitious, thoughtful, students—all in order to raise the next generation of leaders.

My child has had a wonderful experience at Winsor School in Boston. The quality of education is outstanding, and the staff is incredibly helpful and dedicated. My child has made significant progress academically and personally, thanks to the American curriculum offered at the school. We couldn't be happier with our choice!
