School Notes
Winsor is set on a seven-acre campus in Boston, and makes
frequent use of the city's resources. Facilities include the
expansive Lubin-O'Donnell Center for Performing Arts, Athletics and
Wellness, which opened in 2015; the Virginia Wing Library with
27,000 volumes plus access to 850 periodicals; a multi-media
language lab; three computer labs; three art studios; seven science
laboratories; and two turf playing fields.
The Lower School comprises grades 5 through 8. In this
supportive environment, teachers foster natural curiosity through
active, hands-on lessons.
The Upper School is an energetic learning community of ninth
through twelfth graders. The faculty stretches girls to think
logically, creatively, and compassionately and to take increasing
responsibility for their own learning.
At all levels, students enjoy dedicated, caring teachers who
know their subjects intimately.
Beyond the classroom, clubs, the arts, and sports offer ways
for girls to explore interests. Winsor offers teams in 14 sports
and has more than 30 clubs. Girls approach extracurriculars
passionately, and have won national honors in debate, engineering,
and choral competitions.
Girls also work with boys from Belmont Hill and Roxbury Latin
schools on coordinated drama, music, and newspaper activities.
The majority of students go on to attend the nation's most
selective colleges and universities. An experienced College
Counselor guides and supports girls through the process. In the
last five years, students' most common college choices were
Harvard, Boston College, Yale, MIT, UPenn, Wesleyan, Georgetown,
George Washington, Vanderbilt, Stanford, Columbia, Brown and
Dartmouth.
