At the Winch, Sophie evolved from a shy, young girl to a confident leader on campus. After graduation, she excelled at Boston College, was awarded a prestigious Fulbright Fellowship, and is now pursuing a masters degree at Harvard.
Sophie broke out and forged her own path – leaving a living legacy for the students after her.
“The Winchendon School helped me realize my potential and my capabilities in so many ways. Your experience at this school will not always be the easiest or struggle free but it will be authentic and you will learn how to overcome, how to thrive in college and how to be a well rounded adult.

Anabella attended both public and private schools and took online high school courses as well before finding what she wanted at Winchendon.
She joined the founding group of students on our NYC campus in the fall of 2018, seeking:
- a community she could feel a part of
- a curriculum that would support her intellect
- a program that would provide her the flexibility to pursue her passion for competitive fencing at the highest level
By the time that she grauduated, she had completed internships at NYU and Columbia and become a leader on campus.
Anabella found her community and big opportunities at Winchendon.
“I came to this school because I was looking for community. I wanted to build relationships with my teachers and have them know who I am – which is something that I had missed at my online and public schools.
”
Our purpose is to provide you with the experiences, skills, and habits that will inspire and empower you to flourish in school, college, and beyond.”

Some would say the past few years have been a challenge.
Challenge Accepted.
- At Winchendon Bryan achieved Varsity Academics and graduated Summa Cum Laude, while also independently becoming a nationally top ranked gymnast.
- Bryan used his ColLABs to pursue consumer product design, creating a compelling device using engineering and 3-D printing skills, then pursuing commercialization strategies, securing a provisional patent for his design, and figuring out how to take his LittleELF device to market.
Bryan became much more confident and a great self-advocate.
“The parallels between Stanford and Winchendon have become evident to me. Embracing exploration, and “crushing it”, is something that every student here at Stanford possesses… It’s diving into what you are interested in and putting 110% of your effort into that passion. ColLABs at Winchendon epitomize this characteristic… learning from failure is normal and encouraged, and this is true at both Winchendon and Stanford.
”
Where are they now?
