The Westwood School is one of only two schools in the United States to offer a unique blend of the highly regarded Montessori method with the world-acclaimed International Baccalaureate. Since 1986, Westwood has provided an outstanding Montessori environment beginning at the pre-school level. Providing an ideal overlay to the foundation laid by the Montessori method, Westwood is an authorized IB Middle Years Programme school (grades 7-10) and a candidate school for the IB Diploma Programme (grades 11-12). The first graduating class of The Westwood Secondary School will be spring 2011. In today’s world, combining two global educational approaches--Montessori and the International Baccalaureate--offers a powerful synergy to students. Maintaining the highest standards in the world (in more than 2200 World Schools in over 120 countries), the International Baccalaureate challenges students to reach beyond themselves and their communities to the world at large. By the time they graduate from Westwood, they will have learned to think and act independently and built vibrant relationships with peers, becoming, in every sense, citizens of the world. You are invited to share Westwood’s values and community and Discover the Difference that is The Westwood School.
