The Waring School is a liberal arts school for students in grades 6-12 founded in 1972 by Philip and Josée Waring.

Waring School encourages a high level of competition in its Class D sports program, which consists of soccer, lacrosse and basketball, as well as cross country, yoga and dance. The school also boasts a well-known drama program. The Boys' Varsity and Girls' Varsity soccer teams have won several championships within their respective leagues, including the 2006, 2007 and 2009 seasons, as well as winning the NEPSAC Class D title in 2007. In 2009, the Boys Varsity basketball team won their first championship.
The Waring School is a liberal arts school for students in middle and high school (grades 6-12). Our mission is to create and sustain a community of lifelong learners who are working together for the individual and the common good. We assume that most learning in a lifetime takes place outside of school and that one of the purposes of school is to prepare an individual to learn on his or her own. We do not, consequently, think of school as an end in itself but as part of the continuum of a life-long process perpetually at work in each learner.
