Welcome to Westlake Academy

Westlake Academy is an open enrollment college preparatory charter school, which is operated by the Town of Westlake.  This means that we are a public school, funded primarily through contributions from the Texas Education Agency (TEA). Charter schools are granted freedom from many of the State regulations, but still must maintain accountability through State assessments. 

We look forward to connecting with prospective families interested in pursuing an IB education. We would love to meet you and tell you more about Westlake Academy.
