RESEARCH-BASED. FUTURE-FOCUSED. COMMUNITY-CENTERED.

We are committed to an academic program and school culture that inspires and educates students to become highly capable, healthy, wise, and engaged citizens prepared to take on the world’s great challenges.

Our students engage in work that matters—work that is important to the student and has a positive impact beyond the walls of the school. We believe schools should awaken students’ curiosity, expand their view of the world, help them develop the skills and habits for success, and empower them to make a difference in their local, regional, and global communities.

This is Watershed School.

Watershed prepares kids for the future. At Watershed, kids learn how to learn. They learn how to ask the right questions and, importantly, how to acquire the skills and collaborations they need to answer those questions. Watershed is a smart investment in my child’s potential and in our collective future.

Watershed Highlights

Alumni SPOTLIGHT

Kevin Freymiller ‘13, was recently awarded the Eisenhower Fellowship for his doctoral research on EV transportation logistics at Carnegie Mellon. We talked with him about how real-world, community–centered, and expeditionary education materializes in the real world for Watershed graduates.

2023-2024 COURSES

Watershed’s expedition courses begin with big questions, big issues in the world, then we explore the content in a multidisciplinary way. These deep, focused courses are more akin to learning in college and life.

SCHEDULE A TOUR

We’re hosting virtual and in-person tours to enable prospective students and parents to learn more about Watershed. Tours include a full overview of our school with a member of our admissions team.
