Go for Greatness
The Winsor School has been turning curious, motivated learners into strong, purposeful women in the heart of Boston since 1886.
Why Winsor?
As the only grade 5–12 school for girls in Boston, we are experts in delivering a middle and high school education that builds girls’ competence and confidence across a rigorous curriculum.

What's On at Winsor
Winsor’s walls are constantly changing as Visual Arts students showcase their work. Right now, the exhibitions in the front hall are Reverse Charcoal Skull Drawings (made by erasing away, rather than adding charcoal) by Drawing Studio students and photographs of Eggs and Bones by Digital Photography students. In the dining room exhibition space we have Disco Ball Oil Paintings from Class IV Drawing & Painting, Mythical Paper Mache Creatures from Class III Sculpture, and Canopic Jars from Handbuilding Ceramics students.
