Westtown School
Westtown Co-Ed Boarding School Information:
Guided by the essential Quaker calling to seek out and honor that of God in each of us, Westtown School challenges its students to realize their individual gifts while learning and living together in a diverse community. Westtown inspires and prepares its graduates to be stewards and leaders of a better world.
Westtown School offers an education where young children continually find wonder in learning, middle schoolers turn their volatile energy into academic and personal momentum, and high school students move forward into advanced academic exploration, self-knowledge, and independent purpose.
Young and old, here at Westtown students and teachers are learners and thinkers. We are athletes. We are diverse. We strive to make the world a better place. We are leaders guided by deeply-held values. We are problem-solvers. We are Westtown!
Westtown School was founded in 1799 and for over 200 years has offered young people a rigorous college preparatory education along with the Friends’ values of
• Simplicity
• Peace
• Integrity
• Community
• Equality
Planning your curriculum:
In planning a student’s course of study, consider the student’s previous academic record, his or her abilities and interests, future college plans, and the school’s diploma requirements. Students' days are very full in this school community, with lots of opportunities for academic exploration combined with the excitement of community living, athletic and artistic programs, and community service opportunities. Keep the following points in mind:
• meet all graduation requirements
• consider your strengths; look for opportunities for growth
• challenge yourself appropriately
• strive for a balanced combination of courses and co-curricular commitments
Get ready to surprise yourself. Right now, you might never guess that you would soon be isolating DNA, dancing onstage, designing workable robots, winning a national essay contest, starting a photography club, or guest-teaching in an eighth grade ethics class—or in a school in Ghana. Or even, by junior year, planning a senior project that involves doing original scientific research in a Costa Rican rain forest.
Do you want the chance to speak with a nationally-known forensic anthropologist or environmentalist or author? Do you want to compete in athletic championships? Would you like to take linear math? Do you want to be able to speak Mandarin Chinese? Maybe you never thought about it, but think again. Because Westtown has a way of bringing out the unexpected.
