‘Learning How to Think – Exploring How to Do’

From our vast curriculum to the classrooms,
to the strength of each teacher, Westmont
encourages children to think for themselves, to discover,
question, build resilience, create, lead and collaborate, Westmont’s
thriving, nurturing environment leads to lifelong success
in academic, emotional, and social skills.

Welcome from the Head of School

Welcome! I am delighted to extend a warm and heartfelt welcome to you and your family. As Head of School, it is with great privilege that I embrace the opportunity to lead this exceptional school and am genuinely excited to embark on this journey in partnership with you and our dedicated faculty and staff.

Westmont holds a special place in my heart, not only as my place of employment for almost 15 years but also as the foundation of my children’s education. I have many fond memories of my children’s time here at Westmont. I credit their teachers and the Montessori philosophy for creating the independent lifelong learners that my children are today.

I am proud and honored to continue the tradition of quality education offered here at Westmont. Together with our skilled Board of Trustees, passionate faculty and staff, and past and present Westmont families, I welcome you to come see our dually accredited remarkable school for yourself.
