Students tackle real-world problems and design solutions. In most of our classrooms, students and teachers sit in a circle, facing each other, not a blackboard.

Westtown invests kids with humanity and curiosity. We ll them with a sense that the world is going to get better and that theyre going to be a part of it, as one of our alumni recently put it. After all, when Westtown graduates head out into the world after college, they enter a terrain that demands their leadership, challenges their integrity and requires their adaptability. Four years of college arent enough to prepare them to thrive in a world like that.
