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.

Jonnelle

Being a parent of a child with dyslexia can sometimes make you feel helpless. Westmark has been a true gift in helping Sophia see that being dyslexic is simply a part of who she is. She is dyslexic, bright, smart, creative, and able to learn, and she grows in that confidence every day.

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.
