OVERVIEW
About

Westtown School is an independent, Quaker co-educational, pre-K to 12, college preparatory day and boarding school located in suburban West Chester, PA, approximately 30 miles from Philadelphia. Situated on a beautiful 600-acre campus, Westtown offers state-of-the-art facilities where our committed faculty and staff inspire and prepare our students to be stewards and leaders of a better world. Westtown is grounded in the Quaker understanding of the Truth within and enriched by the religious diversity of our community. Every day, we want students to feel supported and empowered to let their inner Light shine. Our teachers cultivate joy in learning, encourage students to take risks and make mistakes, and equip them with real-life problem-solving skills for their own fulfillment and the betterment of the world. We aspire daily to celebrate differences, affirm intersectional personal identities, cultivate cultural competency, and mitigate the detrimental effects of privilege by making privilege conscious. In all that we do, we are inspired by your children, energized by their presence, and excited to help them realize their unique gifts. Character matters. A lot. Quakers believe that there is that of God in every person - the Inner Light - and that divine truth is revealed to those who seek it. These ideals are central to the vision of the school and are evident in how we relate to and nurture our students. Because we are guided by Quaker principles, we are committed to education that focuses on Personal integrity Spiritual growth and religious awareness Simplicity Equality Community Social responsibility, justice, and peace-making Helping students to become people of solid character, to nourish their hearts as well as their minds, is as important to us as their achievement of academic excellence. In fact, we believe the two go hand in hand.
