Although Windsor Mountain School only survived 31 years in it’s Lenox home, the former Winthrop Estate, there are several alums who met at Windsor and went on to live together after their time as students. The first to come to mind of course was Heinz and Caroline Bondy. She a student and he a son of our founders Max and Gertrud who would become Headmaster […]

After the long Covid two year isolation Betsy Ryan and Myself (Christopher Smith) have been working to renew our Windsor Mountain School (WMS) relationship with Boston University Tanglewood Institute (BUTI). We had hoped to restart the tradition of a yearly September WMS Reunion Picnic in Lenox as we had done 2016 to 2019. As you may know, BUTI began to operate a Music Summer Camp […]
Birthplace Reunion of Windsor Mountain School! FINAL REPORT: Returned back home in Hatfield MA afternoon of October 3, 2021 having spent a breakfast with those alums staying at the Windsor Mansion Inn, along with others staying nearby. It was similar to the Reunions 2016 – 2019 in Lenox, that tend to be smaller allowing for new friendships and bond[y]ing of the alums blending the span […]
