Their commitment to fostering young minds in a nurturing environment makes all the difference! We love being able to contact administration and teachers when needed and feel supported." Hannah "My daughter transferred midyear from another school in her kindergarten year. She'd been having trouble focusing and learning the basics previously, but within a couple of months at Windham Academy, she was already reading whole books to me every night! The teachers here are exceptional, and, as a parent, it feels so good to know you've found the best fit for your child and their needs." The Kamau Family "As an immigrant parent, Windham Academy has been a blessing for our family. I love how the school embraces diversity and makes every child feel included and supported. The STEM program is exceptional and encourages critical thinking and creativity. I’m also impressed by the way teachers make learning fun and effective, especially in English and Math—my child has grown so much academically and personally." Rebecca Skowyra "We absolutely love Windham Academy. Our kids enjoy going to school and have grown so much in confidence and maturity thanks to the school's balanced expectations. We appreciate that WA stays focused on education and character development, without the outside distractions we’ve seen in other schools. The program offers both social and academic rigor with a traditional yet modern approach. We can't imagine our kids anywhere else." The Coventry Family "We left the Bedford public school system in 2023 and were searching for a STEAM-based learning environment for our three children. We knew a couple of families that were enrolled at WA, so we decided to join the wait list and were able to enroll our children for the 2024-2025 school year. We couldn’t be happier with this decision. The staff is excellent, and the communication is great! Kudos to our awesome school security guards, also." Purushotaman and Sravanthi "Windham Academy has been a wonderful place for our child’s education. We are truly grateful to be part of this school community, where the teachers are dedicated, supportive, and go above and beyond to ensure a great learning experience. Their efforts and commitment make a difference every day, and we deeply appreciate all they do. We feel fortunate to have our child in such a nurturing and inspiring environment." Lindsay Baker “We couldn’t be happier with the education and support our 3 children have received at the Windham Academy. The smaller school feel is exactly what our kids needed, and each staff member’s passion for teaching is shown each and every day.” Elementary Parent I can’t tell you how blessed we are to have our child attending WA. Their commitment to providing education without a traditional school agenda is amazing, and they are a genuine treasure to our community. The staff is passionate and patient with all students and families. We will continue to send our child to WA until she ages out. Middle School Parent "Windham Academy has been such a great environment for my children to thrive and grow. The teachers are always willing to go above and beyond to help every student. Our little school on the hill is a community I feel so blessed to be a part of." "Windham Academy has been the best decision we've made. I love how small and personalized the school is. WA has an incredible community that comes together and supports each other. The staff truly goes above and beyond for the kids. WA has a lot of flexibility, they also put a lot of focus on each indivudial kids' needs to ensure every student is successful. Every day my child asks to go back. We absolutely love WA!"

What is a STREAM Based Education? STREAM is an offshoot of STEM - Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. It is a cross-curricular style of educating that engages students and allows a higher level of learning to occur. At Windham Academy, we recognize the relevance of STEM, but have taken two steps further by adding Reading and Arts into our STEM program. That is where the term STREAM comes from. WHO does STREAM affect? STREAM affects all of our students, teachers, families, faculty, and community. WHAT does STREAM stand for? STREAM stands for Science, Technology, Reading, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics. WHERE is STREAM implemented? STREAM is system wide at WA. Our students experience STREAM education each day and have a specific STEM class each week with a teacher who has a deep background in technology and engineering. Our staff immerse our students into cross curricular education and technological tools. WHY is a STREAM education so valuable? Our world is constantly changing and long gone are the days when lecturing students for lengths of time is deemed effective. Our staff are educating students for future jobs than may not even exist today. Instead of simply memorizing facts and figures, a STREAM education allows students to work collaboratively in real-world applications. This authentic approach allows learning to become relevant to each student and produces global thinkers who are ready for a world and workforce outside of our school. STREAM allows a natural extension by asking our students to reflect over assignments and projects and relate them to STREAM. This seamless integration within all classes is what makes STREAM and Windham Academy meld together. Here is the link to our curriculum: Academics
