Elementary School

Elementary

The teachers in the small and friendly elementary division at Westmark School enable the incoming students to rediscover a love of learning. The safe and supportive environment promotes self confidence and self-esteem in each of the students. Small groupings for instruction, hands on activities, and a multi-sensory approach are a few of the methodologies used. Tentative, shy, and overwhelmed children transform into busy, energetic, and more relaxed students.

Curriculum is based on California state standards, with assignments designed to students’ abilities. A close team approach with parents, administrators and many qualified support staff enable the teaching team to provide an interesting and diversified curriculum. Various activities and day trips balance the curriculum to make the elementary division a safe haven for children to meet their full potential.

6th Grade

Sixth grade at Westmark is a very special time filled with new experiences. While still in the nurturing environment of the elementary school, the students are allowed to test the waters of the middle school. They attend camp together, participate on sports teams and enjoy the privilege of having their very own locker. Our sixth graders are a happy bunch; excited about learning and filled with boundless energy.
