Watkinson is a very welcoming place with a lot of warm hearted people. My son is very well received and supported.

This school year was my first at Watkinson. It was an absolute game changer for me and my entire family. Everything Watkinson has to offer is everything I ever looked for in a school environment
6/13/2024
Watkinson is amazing. The campus, lots of area outside between buildings, meaning we go outside within the school day, sometimes to study, or just to walk from class to class. I once got into a conversation with a math teacher on a book series we had both read, and there was a connected novella she had that I hadn't read, and she brought it in from her house and loaned it to me. And then classes, all are good sized, usually less than a dozen students (I think, I don't generally count) and I have even had classes with three students including myself. Zoology is amazing, and we can do projects likely not possible in any high school in CT, or some anywhere. Such as using mist nets to catch birds and hold them, which requires special permits. And then learning about how to find tardigrades, making tardigrade tools for picking individual ones up. And testing tardigrades for Wolbachia, which is pretty unknown, and only a couple of researchers are doing it.

What a refreshing change to have a school that not only "gets' my daughter, but finds opportunities for her to demonstrat...

Watkinson is an amazing community. It provides an exceptional, personalized education for each child, allowing them to grow and thrive in a safe environment that encourages risk taking and values depth over breadth. Our local community and our greater society need more places like Watkinson. If you...

I am a parent of two girls that currently and formally attended Watkinson School. It is fantastic. Coming from the Glastonbury Public school system, both my kids felt lost and ignored socially and academically. Watkinson provided the gateway to make them feel at home from the very first step on camp...

I go here and my imagination runs wild, it's just overall a great school.
