Student Feature:
A Science Fair does more than foster curiosity and allow students to gain experience with the scientific process. It is an opportunity to collaborate, develop organizational and public speaking skills, meet real working scientists, and share interests with their community.
See how science projects enrich student experiences & teach critical thinking and presentation skills!
We are here to empower
Westlake welcomes our students and our families into a unique community of encouragement, partnership and support.
Our learners are rigorously pushed to their highest potential of excellence with a diverse curriculum and unique enrichment opportunities. We support students with a system dynamic instruction that combines classroom work, small groups and on-on-one attention.
We are here to push, to encourage, to teach and to help students become themselves. That means supporting and engaging with families as well, and building a place to belong together.
