About Us

Who We Are

  

The Winchester School was founded in 1970 to teach two years of pre-kindergarten, kindergarten, and first grade children a balanced program of strong academics with stimulating art and music classes. Time for the children to play both outside and inside the school along with first-rate field trips for fun and/or to augment classroom learnings are a vital part of the overall program. As Mary Rhim, the founder of the school put it: "I wanted to start a school that was a complete answer to what I looked for and wanted for my own children when they were young."

Our Mission

  

To provide a nurturing prepared environment following the principles of the Core Knowledge curriculum; whereby, fostering a love of learning and promoting the physical, cognitive, social and emotional needs of the children we serve.

Philosophy

  

The Winchester School believes that every child is a gift, deserving to be treated with love and respect, and recognized as a unique and special individual. Our warm and loving environment greets every child, encouraging a joy of learning, and allowing all children to realize their fullest potential in all areas.

Ages Served

  

We accept children ages 3 years old through Second grade.


For admission into the Pre-K3, Pre-K4, Kindergarten, 1st or 2nd Grade programs, a child must have reached the respective age by September 1st of that year. 


Early admission of a child whose birthday falls after September 1st will be allowed at the discretion of the Director, depending on certain requirements for early admission.

Curriculum

  

 Our general methods of instruction and types of learning activities are based on logically organized and sequential learning programs within eight basic areas: language arts, mathematics, science, STEM, Spanish, art, music, physical education and play. Teaching within these areas combines group instruction based on age with a high degree of individualized teaching within each group. To augment the book and paper/pencil learning, hands-on materials and activities are present in all of the learning centers. Both in-house and away from school field trips further stimulate the child and enhance the learning experience.
