== Special academic programs ==
The School is recognized for three academic programs: Global Dynamics, Service Learning, and ColLABS,.

Global Dynamics is a four-year sequence of courses that provides students with an integrated, multicultural survey of different regions of the world: Asia, the Middle East, Europe, Latin America, Africa, and the United States. Students examine history, art, literature, political science, economics and sociology.

Service Learning is a year-long, student-led, project-based curriculum in which students identify a problem or issue in the community around them and then work to fix it in collaborative groups.

ColLABs, or collaborative laboratories, are open to all Winchendon students. Twice a year, Winchendon students engage in two week intensive courses, collaborative projects, and internships. These courses are elective-style workshops based on one of three types of learning experiences:
* Faculty-led, immersive classes with extensive project and field-based learning
* Student-designed (with teachers as mentors) independent projects in areas of specific interest
* Internships

Regular classes are set aside for the last two weeks of each semester so that students can pursue ColLABs of their choosing.

{{Unreferenced section|date=November 2016}}

[[Williams College]] alumnus Robert Marr had experience at [[Deerfield Academy]], and earlier at [[Vermont Academy]]. As new headmaster in Newport at The Hatch School in 1959, Marr maintained its tutorial model while introducing his own leadership brand. Finding a new campus emerged as a focus for the new Head. Marr settled on Winchendon's current location. The school moved in the summer 1961 to Winchendon, Massachusetts.

During the early to mid-1980s, the school faced financial difficulties, which drew attention to the failures of the school. This led to many donations to The Winchendon School. In the late 1980s, a rolling capital campaign was started that led to the addition of new dorms, a gymnasium and additional classrooms. Much of this attention happened during Headmaster LaBelle's tenure; the school has been financially healthy since.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Bartlett |first=W.

The Winchendon School has had six headmasters. Marr's tenure (1959–1973), was followed by Lewis V. Posich, Stephen V.A. Samborski, J. William LaBelle, John A. Kerney, and current Head of School Laurie Lambert.
