Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month
Honoring and celebrating the achievements and stories of Hispanic Americans deepens students' understanding of diversity.
Letter from Director
I'm constantly inspired by the resilience, strength, and unique potential of each of our students.
Immersive Learning Across Grade Levels
Immersive, hands-on experiences inspire our students to connect learning with real-world applications. One of the most anticipated events that embodies this approach is our annual Car Show, held in the spring.
Curriculum Developments
This year we are further developing our curriculum to include an enhanced selection of electives designed to engage students in activities they find personally interesting and rewarding.
New Student Podcast Makes News
A group of students and teacher Griffin Charyn are producing a monthly podcast of coming happenings around the school and publishing it for the Westbridge community. Students write the news, read the news, edit audio tracks and music, and produce the entire podcast, from start to finish.
From the Executive Director’s Desk: What Happens in the “Extra Mile”
This year is Westbridge Academy's Golden Anniversary, celebrating 50 years of providing high quality educational and therapeutic services to thousands of students for whom we went the "extra mile." Moments like this give us the opportunity to reflect, and ask, what happens in that extra mile?

From the Executive Director’s Desk: Assessment Matters
The Westbridge Academy Student Passport includes five sections that provide a comprehensive assessment of the student’s progress and emotional make-up.
Extended School Year
ESY at Westbridge is about more than preventing regression and battling academic learning loss. Students need to maintain critical behavioral, social, and mental health gains as well.
