Thank you for your commitment to shaping Westmont’s Bright Future together.
The Bright Futures Fund is a cherished endeavour that perfectly encapsulates the spirit of our community—compassionate, forward-thinking, and endlessly supportive.
Over the years, incredible generosity has laid the groundwork for real, impactful change—scholarships awarded to bright minds in need, essential enhancements across our curricula, and improvements to our grounds and facilities.  We divide our fund into three broad areas for donations:
- Creative Spirits
- Engaged Minds
- Active Lifestyles
 Of course, we will always accept directions on how a donor would like to see their contribution used.
Below you can find a portfolio of some of the amazing projects that have been made possible by the Bright Futures Fund. We hope you will take a moment to explore these pages and learn more about how your support has helped us make a difference in the lives of our students.
We invite you to help us continue this wonderful journey with the Bright Futures Fund. Whether choosing to contribute towards classroom equipment, new ways to get our students active, or making our programs more financially accessible to families—each gift is more than a donation; it’s a warm embrace to our students, affirming that we believe in their potential and are here to support their dreams.
Thank you for your continued trust and support. Our journey together is not just about achieving goals but about building a community that cherishes each step we take together.
Creative Spirits
Westmont seeks to build connections with new and established artists I our community and beyond – working to enrich the cultural life of our school and our community. Whether it is mime or music, acting or singing, our students have the opportunity to learn and grow through performance and creative expression.Â
Engaged Minds
Rooted in the BC curriculum and built on the Montessori love of learning our school works hard to engage and deepen the minds of our students. From imaginative international ‘trips’, though working with local gardeners to learn about our natural environment, to supporting Malawian girls to complete their education, Westmont strives to connect the everyday world of school with the currents of the global community.Â
Active Lifestyles
Westmont offers an educational environment that is both dynamic and engaging. Students move around their classroom and our campus, constrained only by the limits of their imagination and curiosity. Our students are active learners in every sense of the word and are laying the foundations for an active and healthful life.Â
Other Funded Projects
Beyond our core initiatives—Creative Spirits, Engaged Minds, and Active Lifestyles—we’ve been fortunate to complete a series of unique projects that do not neatly fit within these categories but are equally important. Thanks to our community donors, we’ve made significant improvements to our facilities and surroundings, contributing substantially to the vitality and development of our community in ways that differ from our three focus areas.
Volunteers are Our Lifeblood!
Sometimes the most valuable donation a person can make is their time, and our community members step up in a big way. Their dedication and passion breathe life into our missions, transforming ideas into tangible impacts. Whether lending their time, skills, or enthusiasm, volunteers are an indispensable force, driving us toward a brighter, more inclusive future.
We Like to Give as Well as Receive!
Westmont’s Conscious Giving program strives to educate our children and youth about charitable giving at an early age, teaching them financial literacy and exposing them to the great feeling that comes with making an impact. We aim to encourage generosity and to inspire youth to give frequently and with purpose — a lifelong practice that fills their buckets and allows them to take ownership of their potential to make an impact.
