Support the Winchester Thurston Annual Fund

The Winchester Thurston School Annual Fund benefits every member of the WT community by empowering our students, faculty, programs, and facilities with the resources they need to thrive and excel. In addition to the crucial role the Winchester Thurston Annual Fund plays in fostering innovative learning and growth, it also helps to close the gap between the tuition families pay and the cost of a rigorous Winchester Thurston education.
