Middle School

The fundamental purpose of our Middle School is to carry out the Westlake Preparatory School's mission by providing an academic program, which addresses the needs, characteristics and interests of early adolescents. 

Middle Schoolers have distinctive characteristics and needs that set them apart from elementary and high school students. Middle schoolers are in transition between childhood and adulthood, moving from the more self-contained environment of elementary school to the more autonomous or independent environment of the middle then high schools. 

With a primary focus on enhancing student learning, Westlake’s teaching methods reflect the belief that students should have an active role in learning. 

A responsibility of our middle school is to help parents understand their children at this time of their lives, bringing particular attention and clarity to the academic, social and emotional aspects of being an early adolescent.
