The Westmont Difference
Westmont is a caring, family oriented Preschool to Grade 12 learning community that takes an individual approach to experiential, real world education. We believe students deserve to be seen and develop as whole individuals from the start of school, not simply after graduation. Our students excel academically and in life as our method truly ignites a passion for deep, life-long learning. Does this sound right for you or your student?

Igniting the fire
for deep, self-directed, lifelong learning
At Westmont, experiential learning begins in pre-k and elementary with a focus on physical experiences in nature and self-directed use of hands-on tools. This expands in middle school with projects that integrate multiple subjects and require high performance teamwork. In our new High School program, projects are tackled through the model of design thinking. We’ll bring students to the world both virtually and in person, by creating learning experiences in progressive environments that offer knowledge from the real world, not a textbook – from business incubators to makerspaces, organic farms to ocean biology labs, university lectures to expert mentorships, local explorations to global adventures.
