CONGRATULATIONS TO THE CLASS OF 2021!

Watch the full ceremony below. 



8th Grade Graduation


On June 9, 2021, the 8th graders were celebrated in their graduation ceremony. In a unique and meaningful update to the ceremony, as each student received their certificate, a recording of their own voice describing what they learned in Middle School accompanied them across the stage. You can watch the ceremony above and enjoy the photo gallery here. Congratulations to the Class of 2025! 

5th Grade Graduation 

On June 10, the 5th graders celebrated their rite of passage with a traditional Meeting for Worship. In order to maintain physical distancing, the service was held in the Athletic Center.  Each student shared a statement about their experience in Lower School, and family, friends, and faculty were invited to share in worship as well. 

Congratulations to all our students who are moving on to new phases of their lives! 

Still Looking for Hosts: Be Part of the Host Family Program! 
Join other local Westtown families who host boarding students from afar! We will be connecting our new international students and domestic students who live at a distance with local host families and hope you will consider this exciting opportunity!  Host families offer some home-cooked meals, enjoy cross-cultural conversations, and often develop relationships that live on well after a student's first year at Westtown. Host families are not responsible for boarding over breaks or transporting students. You can learn more about the Host Family Program on our website. If you have questions, please contact International Student Coordinators Bei Zhang and Rose Koenig
