The Winston School San Antonio

What The Winston School San Antonio does

The Winston School San Antonio is a private, nonprofit K-12 college preparatory institution founded in 1985, serving approximately 150 enrolled students with identified learning differences such as dyslexia, ADHD, dysgraphia, auditory and visual processing disorders, and dyscalculia. Operating from a single campus at 8565 Ewing Halsell Drive in San Antonio, Texas, the school maintains an 8:1 student-to-teacher ratio with 28 faculty members. Its mission centers on delivering personalized instruction, self-advocacy training, and college-readiness support to students who require accommodations typically unavailable in traditional school settings.

The school's core product portfolio comprises three academic programs (Lower School, Middle School, Upper School) plus supplemental services including a Summer Program, College & Career Preparation counseling, and School Counseling. The Center for Neurodiversity extends institutional reach beyond enrolled students by offering academic and cognitive testing, the Annual Learning Symposium (entering its 37th year in January 2027), and the Winston Learning Series, which are free community events. Technology infrastructure consists of RenWeb/FACTS for student information management and assistive tools such as Learning Ally and Read & Write Gold — operational rather than productized. The Educational Medical Scientific Advisory Council (EMSAC), drawing from University Health, Trinity University, UTSA, and the University of the Incarnate Word, provides advisory support.

Revenue is generated through four streams: recurring private school tuition billed annually, donations via the Annual Fund Drive, special-event fundraising (Wild Wild Winston Clay Shoot, Annual Auction & Gala, The Big Give SA), and continuing education credit fees. The school participates in the Texas Education Freedom Account (TEFA) program and holds approved continuing education provider status with the Texas Education Agency (Teacher Provider #500962), the Texas State Board of Social Worker Examiners (#5313), and the Texas State Board of Examiners of Professional Counselors (#930). The institution is governed by a Board of Trustees, with Michelle Spoonemore, Ph.D. serving as Head of School. There is no parent company, no venture capital ownership, and no publicly disclosed revenue.
