Westridge’s Educational Philosophy:

Westridge is concerned with the education of all its pupils. It stresses the striving after excellence and takes pride in the achievements of the talented and exceptional individuals. This education taken in the broader sense includes an increased responsibility for the pupils’ social, moral, spiritual and emotional development. It recognizes the individuality and worth of every child  and aims to:

• provide opportunities for each child to grow as an individual and realize their unique potential through the achievement of realistic self-set goals;
• enrich the lives of its pupils through encouraging their participation in the School’s varied cultural and sporting program;
• educate for life in a changing society through the development of a social conscience and the recognition of the importance and dignity of every human-being, regardless of status, race or religion;
• cultivate in our youth a love and understanding of our country and a desire to participate intelligently in the solving of its problems.
