Instructional Leadership
At Westlake, quality of instruction is our top priority. Our educational methodology combines traditional classroom lecture with an academic mastery teaching format – a combination that has proven highly successful in developing academic and social growth in our students. We are committed to the core business of teaching, learning and knowledge.
Our Motto
Westlake Preparatory School, Summit Program and Westlake Academy are each designed to teach the value of self-discipline, respect, personal responsibility and compassion – the foundation for our motto, “Education and Integrity is Strength.” Brought together, these clear and consistent objectives have proven to be a winning combination.
Bulldog Pride
Our students are encouraged to not only grow academically but to gain respect for their own abilities. We want each student to recognize the importance of applying their skills to improving not only their own lives, but the lives of those around them.
We are a uniformed school.
At Westlake, we’ve found that school uniforms raise students’ expectations of themselves. When dressed neatly and seriously, students tend to behave seriously. Often teachers find calmer, more polite, more attentive students. Students seem to feel more confident in the way they look, and so they have more confidence in themselves.
