Geocache Description:

This cache is located directly between Middle Hancock Rd and the south entrance to The Well School campus. It is easily accessible to anyone on foot. Maybe a park and grab, but that is not the purpose.

This cache is placed on the private property of the school with permission. Please be very respectful of the area.

PLEASE DO NOT PARK IN THE SCHOOL DRIVEWAY!!!

PARK ON MIDDLE HANCOCK RD.

Ok, ok...so there is not an actual well at the cache site, however, there is a Well School.

At the cache site you will be standing roughly 200 feet north of the south entrance to one of the foremost examples of academic excellence in the Monadnock region. The Well School has been here for more than 40 years and offers an educational experience to students from 3 years old up to 9th grade that cannot be found elsewhere.

History of The Well School

The Well School was founded over 40 years ago by Jay and Toni Garland as an alternative to public education. Since its humble beginnings in 1967 the school has taken a holistic approach to a classical based curriculum, providing excellence in academics and the arts, with an emphasis on nurturing the whole child: the mind, body and spirit.

The Well began with a tiny group of students, principally made up of the Garlands’ children, nieces and nephews. The children were taught in the Garland home (often referred to as the ‘Brick Building’) where Jay and Toni’s family also resided. Over the past 40 years much of the land was cleared and a full campus built on 70 acres of land, including several school buildings, a performing arts theater, a community kitchen, many playing fields and sports facilities, a nature pond, and a 15 acre farm.

Today The Well serves students from Amherst, Milford, Temple, Keene, Dublin, Hancock, Jaffrey, Rindge, New Ipswich, Peterborough, Greenfield, Francestown, Antrim, Henniker, Lyndeborough, and other surrounding towns throughout the Monadnock Region and North Central Massachusetts.
