The students’ writing skills are tremendous. Both my girls have asked me to read their papers—not for proofreading, but because they’re so excited about what they wrote. Westtown students know how to write and they know how to analyze. They also care about being a good person in the world.

Get ready to surprise yourself. Right now, you might never guess that you would soon be isolating DNA, dancing onstage, designing workable robots, winning a national essay contest, starting a photography club, or guest-teaching in an eighth grade ethics class—or in a school in Ghana. Or even, by junior year, planning a senior project that involves doing original scientific research in a Costa Rican rain forest.

Do you want the chance to speak with a nationally-known forensic anthropologist or environmentalist or author? Do you want to compete in athletic championships? Would you like to take linear math? Do you want to be able to speak Mandarin Chinese? Maybe you never thought about it, but think again. Because Westtown has a way of bringing out the unexpected.
