The Winston School of San Diego

Winston is a thoughtful community dedicated to the individual needs of students. My son attended public school through 6th grade. He has learning disabilities and is on an IEP. Everything about Winston is tailored to support my son's challenges, but more importantly, nurture his abilities and build self-confidence. Winston celebrates their students. We are now part of a community of abundance rather than an environment of scarcity. Every single thing about your scholastic experience will change for the better when your child walks onto this campus. The Winston team is a highly trained, collaborative group of individuals that proactively seek to raise our children up. We are looking forward to college and beyond. The decision to attend this school is life-changing and healing for those who have experienced trauma in other settings.

I've had a great experience working at the Winston School the past five years. The staff and students have become my second family. We are a very welcoming community and provide lots of opportunities for hands-on learning, group activities, and much more!

I have worked in the counseling department at The Winston School for almost two years now. In that time I have met many new students and every time I ask them how they like Winston they express something like, "I've finally found my home." The students, and their families, tell me they are grateful for the kind teachers and staff who take the time to get to know them as individuals, and for their fellow students who welcome them from Day 1. In my estimation, The Winston School provides a healthy balance of challenge and support, with instructional delivery tailored to each student's needs. I would highly recommend this school for any student who has struggled to find the right fit elsewhere.

My son was struggling in public school & falling through the cracks. He hated school. When he started in 5th grade, he said the best thing about Winston was that "I don't feel stupid like I always did (at his public school)". The teachers and administrators are amazing. They see my son (now finishing 9th) as a whole, with everyone coordinating to provide him with the best education possible. He is not a typical kid, and he frequently got the message in many areas of his life (especially school) that he is not okay as he is. At Winston, however, they see through the bluster. They don't just accept or tolerate him, they appreciate him for who he is. Probably more importantly, they help him to appreciate himself for who he is.
