ABOUT THE WARING SCHOOL
Since its founding in 1972 by Philip and Josée Waring as an alternative approach to schooling, Waring has set itself apart by its commitment to creating an environment where learning can thrive.
We strive to maintain a culture that honors and supports the human desire to learn. Waring is situated on 32 acres in Beverly, Massachusetts, and offers a full program of intellectual, aesthetic, and physical activities – a program that balances academic rigor with breadth. Waring asks students to take risks and engage with subjects and activities outside their comfort zone, and enables students to find their voice and build skills in many ways.

Our Educational Philosophy
Waring School’s educational program is based on the premise that, in order to learn, students must be challenged with worthy intellectual material, exciting creative projects, and ample opportunities to display their talents and expand their ideas through meaningful interactions with peers and adults.

COMMUNITY LIFE
Elective & Experiential Options
Waring offers numerous elective and experiential options so that students may pursue interests outside the academic classroom. In all of these offerings, students are encouraged to voice their ideas, see things in new ways, and show their best work. Students are encouraged to form their own clubs and leadership groups, to mentor younger students, to pursue their passions in and out of the classroom.
