We have been a part of the Westmark community for close to 2 years now. Our kiddo loves attending school and is growing both in their academics and their confidence. The resources they offer to support their students is second to none.

Our Westmark journey started 7 years ago with our oldest son. He went from a place that didn't understand how he learns and to a place where he can thrive. He's gained confidence in himself and understands his way of learning. I truly believe Westmark has benefited my son's education now and beyond high school.

My son did NOT want to leave his former private school, but his discalcula resulted in him taking too much of his after-school time to re-do homework and study. But after joining Westmark in grade 6, Leo is an enthusiastic learner of all subjects, and had had several teachers really connect with him and encourage his interests. He also counts his classmates among his very best friends.

He loved his friends and his school, but it became clear that even with all the support we could provide, the way he was being taught just wasn’...

Westmark is an excellent school not only for children with learning differences to learn, but for them to gain the confidence and amass the strategies to succeed in life.
