Welcome to Westside School
At Westside, classrooms buzz with energy and curiosity. Teachers cultivate learning environments celebrating students' individuality and creativity. Our curriculum simultaneously supports and challenges students. It encourages each student—from 
preschool through sixth grade—to become confident contributors, critical thinkers and empathetic friends.
Our curriculum melds project-based learning and mastery of hard skills so that students gain the tools and conceptual grounding they need to dig deep into their lessons.
Joyful Learning permeates Westside School. Creative and engaging projects and lessons foster a learning environment where everyone enjoys being at school everyday.
Confidence. Presentations are part of what we do at Westside everyday -- from preschool to middle school. By the time students leave Westside, they are confident communicators and comfortable speaking in front of their classroom, in groups, and in front of the whole school community.
Connection. We provide experiences -- connections to the outside world -- that prepare our students to be active, thoughtful members of the global community. From Preschool through Middle School, our students study Mandarin Chinese and Spanish. Learning a language is more than grammar and vocabulary, it's understanding that there are different approaches to life and perspectives on the world.
Collaboration. Small classroom communities provide daily opportunities to lead and work collaboratively with their peers.
Community. We are a caring, inclusive, spirited community. Parents are our partners in education and we work to make it as easy as possible for families to be involved in school life. The Westside Parents Organization (WPO), cultivates relationships, supports teachers, and works to enrich the community experience at Westside.
