Waring School


Waring School is a co-educational private school in Beverly, Massachusetts, United States, for students in grades 6-12. The School offers studies in Humanities; extensive music, art, and theatre options, mathematics and science courses, as well as a curriculum of French language and cultural exchange.

History

Waring was founded by Philip and Josée Waring in 1972, and was based in their home in Rockport, Massachusetts, with four students attending. It was originally known as La Petite École. As it expanded, the school purchased the Edith Miles Coolidge Estate in Beverly, Massachusetts and moved there in 1976. At this time, it changed its name to École Bilingue de Beverly, though it was referred to as the Waring School unofficially. Waring has been based in Beverly ever since, and it has since expanded, in terms of students and new buildings being constructed, including a theater, gym, and new science labs. The School is currently in the process of building a new building to replace an aging one, with the goal of being ready for use by the 2020–2021 school year.
