Research Winchester School private Schools in Baltimore, Maryland

“When I visited the Winchester School I was very impressed with what I saw in the classrooms. However, when my child started his tenure at the school my opinion of the school changed drastically. This school was not kid friendly at all. The expectations for three and four year old children were unbelievable. There was no tolerance at all for kids to be kids. The school has a very intensive and accelerated curriculum which seemed impressive on the surface, but proved to be too rigid for a normal and active three year old child. For the Winchester to be a school for early childhood education, I was shocked and appalled by the lack of compassion and understanding exhibited by persons in leadership positions. The Winchester is not a nurturing environment for children. The best thing I did for my child was to remove him from the school.”

“Winchester has an agressive marketing plan to indoctrinate potential parents that the 'school' is stellar. The school is fair, however, distributed teachers lend to poor individual child assessment. Teachers are upbeat. Curriculum is poor for a well adjusted child. Children may not see a difference; type A parents will not realize an improvement only maintenance. School has is experiencing community problems, so long term status is shakey.”

“The Winchester School offers a strong academic program with specific classes in Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, Spanish and Art. Children are exposed to an advanced curriculum and an array of activities. Your child will do extremely well if he/she comes to the program with maturity and a propensity to grasp key concepts quickly through traditional teaching methods. However, if your child falls into any of these categories, he/she may have challenges: 1)short attention span 2) visual learner 3)lacks academic and/or social maturity. Unfortunately, there are no set teaching strategies for children who fall into this group, leading to feelings of inadequacy by the child.”
