Westover School
Overview
Westover empowers young women to lead lives of consequence. Each day we live our core values of community strength of character passion for learning and women's empowerment. We are a school where girls are comfortable taking risks where they don't worry about looking silly and where they feel completely free to be themselves.
Academics
Summary: A Westover School education means embracing intellectual challenge in a close-knit community. It means learning in small classes from inspired teachers who care about you, get to know you as a person, and involve you in your education. It means having the opportunity to explore--to build on your strengths, uncover new ones, discover what you like and where you excel. It means engaging with subjects and people and activities and ideas that help you understand the world in new ways. And it means learning the way girls learn best--in a supportive all-girls environment that has proven its effectiveness in promoting academic achievement.
