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 recently completed a new passive house school building in 2021.
Waring also runs three FIRST Robotics Programs, who won the Inspire award at the FIRST Tech Challenge World Championship. They also notably won the top award at the Massachusetts State FTC Championship in 2022 and have been invited to the FIRST [Lego League Challenge|FIRST Lego League Championship] twice in 2020 and 2019 for winning the FLL State Championship.
