The Winchendon School

In 1926 our founder Lloyd Harvey Hatch had the vision to create a school that would be based on very small classes and highly individualized teaching. Mr. Hatch believed that his philosophy would allow students to achieve greater success in a traditional curriculum. His approach ensured that students more rapidly acquired skills and knowledge. Eighty-four years later, our mission statement, while updated to reflect 21st century opportunities and realities, is still firmly based on Mr. Hatch’s timeless vision: The Winchendon School, a coeducational multicultural community, provides college-bound students of good character and promise with the essential study skills and learning strategies that propel each student to achieve academic success.
