The Westmark Difference

A teacher gives differentiated instruction to a student while both sit at a desk in a classroom.

Instruction to Meet Each Learner’s Needs

At Westmark, we meet learners where they are. Differentiated instruction throughout the school day—rather than as a pull-out service—ensures that every student receives the support and inspiration they need.

Warm, Vibrant Community

In and out of the classroom, our students thrive among friends, families, faculty, and staff. Dynamic student life, robust arts and athletics, and spirited gatherings lie at the heart of our close-knit community.

Why Westmark

Pearl

My favorite part of the day is Reading. I get to go with this really nice lady who is helping me get caught up with the rest of the class. Before [I started at Westmark last week], I could read my own name and 'cat.' But today I read a book!

Westmark has given our children the tools to succeed. No more IEPs with goals not being met! Now our kids are achieving so much. They have become confident, happy students who embrace how they learn.

Koby

At my old school, I was not stimulated because my teachers were not engaging with me. At Westmark, I got more attention from my teachers and I wasn’t being pulled out of my classroom. Instead I was being taught in a way that helped me genuinely learn the material.

Mary

Thanks to Westmark's professional learning program, I have learned how to better interpret a neuropsych and determine the right interventions. To be able to pull from a toolkit of strategies has been so beneficial.

Michael

After graduating in 2020, I went on to attend one of the top five schools for filmmaking. I am thankful every day that I was able to get into my dream school, and I'm thankful every minute that my family made the decision to send me to Westmark. Without it, I know I wouldn't be where I am today.

Hilya

As a psychologist specializing in diagnosing learning differences and ADHD, Westmark is my top school recommendation. Students thrive in this supportive environment that understands their needs and delivers truly individualized and evidence-based instruction. The emphasis on socio-emotional learning, coupled with embracing unique learning styles, fosters the confidence children need for success in academics and life.
