Winchester School

The Winchester school has been a god-send for my anxious little boy with special needs. He loves his teachers, loves the way they make him feel safe to take on academic and developmental challenges. He’s learned so much, and it warms my heart to see him skip in the door in the morning after how stressed he used to be about going each day to his old preschool. Thank you, Winchester!

Our child attended The Winchester School for a few years including during the pandemic. This is a hidden gem in Aspen Hill. The teachers are very skilled and caring, and take safety seriously. The reading program is great, setting a strong foundation. Math is similar, and the science teacher is truly top notch. In addition to academics, children also learn valuable lessons in terms of socializing, respect for others, etc. in a highly diverse environment.This is a wonderful preschool/pre-K and they also have a great kindergarten that is perfect for kids who do not quite make the county cut off but need more challenges, or who would benefit from a smaller environment for a transition.

We loved this school. Our only regret was not enrolling our child sooner. The school is small so they can easily accommodate differences in learning speed. My child was doing 1st grade math in kindergarten early with their help. The teachers are incredibly nice and it rubs off on the children. My child's behavior improved with the school's balance of kindness and discipline. The families who send their children here are serious about learning. I highly recommend this school! A hidden gem.

All of my three children attended The Winchester School and loved all of their teachers. They excelled there and now enjoy education and actively learning as a result. The Winchester School has inspired my daughter to teach herself Japanese and my sons have also begun their own unique educational pursuits. If asked, my only complaint is that sometimes I was not informed by the teachers/aids when my sons had to be reprimanded for misbehaving.

The Winchester is the perfect balance of academics with play. I’m a teacher, with my undergrad in early childhood education, and I wouldn’t dream of sending my child anywhere else. Our children were beyond K ready because of all the learning and exposure they did at The Winchester School, we are eternally grateful!
