ABOUT US

For more than 35 years, The Winston School has successfully educated bright, creative children whose learning differences have made succeeding in a traditional school extremely difficult. All of our students receive a quality education that prepares them for college or a meaningful transition suited to their needs.

Many of our teachers have been working at Winston for a decade or more. There’s no other school like ours in San Diego, and as we grow, we plan to be a model for schools like ours across the country.

Please browse our website, give us a call, or drop by to meet us. We’d love to learn more about your student and your family, and help you determine if he or she will be a good fit at our school.
