Using the City as a Classroom: An Impact Learning Story

During Impact Learning this week, some of our freshmen students traveled with Ms. Legro and Dr. Bradley to the Brooklyn Museum to visit two exhibits, “Jeffrey Gibson: When Fire is Applied to a Stone It Cracks” and “Climate in Crisis: Environmental Change in the Indigenous Americas.”

Our freshman curriculum focuses on both storytelling for identity in English and climate and environmental change in Biology, therefore, these exhibits were the perfect connection across disciplines. Na’im S. ‘24 says, “I think these exhibits were really cool because they both related to my classes and it is really cool to see history through art.”

Check out these exhibits at The Brooklyn Museum until 2021 and if you’re interested in learning more about Impact Learning, sign-up for an Open House.

At The Winchendon School, Siblings Make Waves

Chloe F. ’21 almost grew up at The Winchendon School, as her older brothers and sisters arrived on campus beginning in 2010, she watched each of them find themselves at Winchendon. But this year, she’s going to do something that didn’t exist at the School when her siblings were here- be inducted into the National Honor Society. And Chloe is not the only one. The Winchendon School has been a member of the National Honor Society for the past two years. During the 2020 induction ceremony, seven of the 27 inductees will be a sibling or cousin of a current student or alumnus/a.

Educational Choices

A Winchendon School education is deeply personalized and highly collaborative, a Winchendon education is driven by student interests – resulting in graduates who are confident, adaptable, and self-directed learners. That’s what we mean when we say #TheWinchWay. For families, it may mean the School fits the educational needs for more than one of their teens.

The Advantages of Having Siblings at Boarding School with You

For parents and caretakers, the advantages mean less driving! For teens, it can mean:

  • the friends they meet may overlap a bit 
  • exploring different interests on the same campus 
  • occasional meals together
  • cheering for one another on the stage or on the field – or both!
  • extra support on campus if needed! 
  • another layer of shared experiences and traditions for the years to come
Making the Decision that is Right for Your Family

How Brooklyn Does Impact Learning

On our Brooklyn campus, we are always looking for ways to connect our curriculum to real-world experiences, through both ColLAB’s or Immersives.

Our Impact Learning period provides a space for both faculty and students to find new and exciting ways to explore outside of the classroom. Students from our Spanish class visited The Los Hermanos Fabrica de Tortillas in Bushwick, which pumps out 120,000 tortillas a day. Lane R. ‘22 says, “It was very interesting to take a look at the ins and outs of the tortilla factory. I was able to order my food in Spanish and it tasted amazing.”

If you’re ready to take on the city as your classroom, sign up for one of our Open Houses this fall.
