Independent School of Winchester

The Independent School of Winchester is a wonderful place to learn and grow! The teachers are not only knowledgeable and supportive, but they also genuinely enjoy being part of the school community, creating a fun and welcoming environment. The smaller class sizes make a big difference, allowing for personalized instruction and strong connections among students and faculty. ISW encourages students to be curious and independent thinkers, and it provides the resources and support to explore their individual interests. Frequent guest speakers and off-campus field trips enrich the curriculum and promote hands-on, experiential learning across a wide range of topics. Overall, ISW empowers students to learn at their own pace through engaging, meaningful projects while also fostering personal growth, confidence, and a true love of learning.

Very happy parent here! I have had experience at ISW with both the middle and high school. ISW is a supportive environment with teachers who care about each student as a whole person. Interactions with all admins and teachers have been kind, professional, and caring. The quality of education is excellent, and I am confident students are being well-prepared for college! I have seen my child grow not only in their education but also in their self-confidence and communication skills. Highly recommend!

My child attended ISW for 6 years. He had outstanding teachers who worked incredibly hard to inspire him to grow daily. His classes were rigorous and engaging. His instructors were exceptional. He had field trips and/or guest speakers every week, exposing him to new worlds. He was given opportunities to experiment, experience, and shine! He participated in science fairs, performances, and community service projects. The school works hard to develop students with creativity, empathy, and good character. I am grateful for all his years at ISW!

When my children start 10th grade in September, I will have been a parent of ISW students going on 10 years. That is a long time to get to know a school and community of educators! I must say that in this new error of COVID-19, I am extremely impressed at the continuity in learning to take place. ISW teachers and administrators did not miss a beat! I know my kids are still full-on learning, while also given the space to adjust to these new circumstances. We have been very impressed with the high school teachers and curriculum and have no doubt that our children will be academically and mentally ready for a great college experience in a few years. Best of all, they absolutely love their school. The surroundings are stunning, and the warmth, and kindness of the school's staff is palpable.
