Thank you for taking this opportunity to explore and learn more about our independent, co-ed, Pre-School through Secondary programs. While the photos and information will give you a sense of our Montessori environment, visiting our school is the best way to truly capture the spirit of Westwood.  When I started the school over twenty years ago, I envisioned a place where students and parents feel at home. I wanted visitors to be struck by how welcoming our students are and by the strong connection between students and teachers. I envisioned a place where faculty members not only want to work, but also want to raise their own children. Over the years, I have been fortunate to work with some amazing teachers who have created an outstanding educational environment. With enthusiasm and passion, our faculty members offer themselves as examples of the character and principles that our school embodies. At The Westwood School, our core values of Character, Community, and Academic Excellence are evident everywhere. We believe in the uniqueness of each student and strive to nurture individual talents in a supportive environment. Montessori philosophy and methods provide a framework within which each child is able to stretch to their fullest potential while always being an integral part of the school community. When a child enrolls at Westwood, the entire family becomes part of a vibrant school that has been built on strong values. What sets our school apart is that words like "respect" and "character" are not just terms we define, they are qualities by which we all live. Moreover, we believe that the threads of honesty, compassion, and respect weave the moral fabric of our school. From our exuberant pre-school students to our confident secondary students, children thrive on the Westwood experience of a challenging curriculum, dedicated teachers, a safe and child-centered setting, and a permeating spirit of belonging to a special group of young scholars. I invite you to share our values and our spirit. Visit our school and Discover the Difference that is Westwood. Pam Butler Head of The Westwood School |
