"I connected the dots between Bach and rock."

We believe creating is an intrinsic part of learning. That's why all of our classes are opportunities for inquiry, discovery and expression, from core subjects like math and science to classes in music, theater and fine arts. Outside of class, enrichment opportunities like robotics, drama, and art allow students to continue creating as they nurture their emerging passions.

"I learned to follow my questions fearlessly."

From inquiry-driven classroom projects to overnight expeditions, Westside students practice courageous learning. Understanding how you learn and how to express yourself are key parts of the Westside journey.

"I built a robot and suddenly math was everywhere."

With classes capped at 20, teachers form personal relationships that help them uncover the keys to learning for each child.

Whatever makes learning matter for your child, our teachers have more opportunity to crack the code.
