Learning Strategies
“Through the Learning Advocacy program at Winchendon, I am able to get assistance with organizing my assignments, planning English essays, and building great study habits.”
The Lloyd Harvey Hatch Center for Learning Strategies
A compelling suite of solutions and support for high school students who have significant unrealized potential and who are ready to get on track to greater success in school and college.
Our commitment to support students with different learning styles, challenges and profiles has been the cornerstone of the School since its founding by Lloyd Harvey Hatch nearly 100 years ago. Similarly, the training, mentoring, advocacy and support provided to the students through the Hatch Center programs propel our students to become confident, independent learners, and empower them through their years at Winchendon, college and beyond. Above all, developing confidence and self-esteem are integral to their success.
Our Philosophy
The programs offered through the Hatch Center provide an individually designed path for students to achieve independent academic success. A common goal for all students in these programs is to transition out of the program. Over their time at the School as they become confident, independent, self-directed learners, students will progress through the programs.

Our two locations share the same teaching philosophy thereby ensuring students can easily move from one campus to the other. For example, students move between campuses for ColLABs or a semester in the New England countryside.

The Learning Strategies program is one of the key reasons we chose Winchendon. The program has been invaluable in providing actionable, clear guidance and resources to support my son’s strive for academic success.
