“The IB curriculum at Westlake Academy really prepared me for college as it taught me how to be well-balanced and utilize my time management skills.”

Jodi Douris

“We have so many wonderful educators here at Westlake Academy, many of whom are moms, and this is where they’ve chosen for their kids to be. I think that is a big testament to what is taking place here. After 10 years of experience in different academic settings, this is where I want my children to be, because the education is that great.”

Jodi Douris, PYP Special Education Teacher

Rachel Whitbeck, Class of 2014

"Westlake Academy taught me to appreciate different points of view that I might not have thought of or agreed with. I also learned time management skills that are so critical for college and my career. "
