Real learning involves energy. Bright, dynamic, full of excitement.

That’s where middle schoolers begin at Westtown, with a preteen’s natural energy and that universal sense of uncertainty about what lies ahead. At Westtown, they learn to focus that energy on an incisive question, a new look at themselves, a sport they’ve never tried, an art form they’ve not yet explored. How can an academic community simultaneously whet young teenagers’ appetite for knowledge, spur their progress toward independent thinking, and ensure that each fresh young spirit continues to shine with enthusiasm and renewable energy?

Working within our highly respected, 200-year-old heritage of Quaker education, Westtown School has found a way.
