Overview

At The Winchendon School, we teach in the American style. We are guided by real-world learning where students lead discussions and debate questions in the American entrepreneurial tradition. Our Signature Programs reflect this commitment. Internships and Entrepreneurship Students have two opportunities a year to pursue a graded internship. Whether interning in business in London, UK or working in an internship studying gravitational waves at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), students are actively engaged in their learning. Internships in high school help students stand out on college applications.
