  Where a School Becomes a Community
Westerly School provides a stimulating community where a diverse and motivated student body develops the skills and habits for academic success and lifetime personal growth.  

A skilled and passionate faculty takes full advantage of the small class size to offer an extraordinary education, tailored to meet the personal needs of each student. The focus is on the “whole child” which encourages each student to grow “academically, socially, physically and ethically.”

In every grade, students benefit from a unique curriculum that includes both strength in the traditional core subjects of math, science, humanities and social sciences and frequent participation in an integrated array of music, studio art, Spanish and physical education programs.

Westerly students thrive in the journey from Kindergarten through eighth grade and develop a strong foundation for future success in rigorous secondary schools and later at the nation’s most competitive colleges and universities. The strong foundation in skills, habits and knowledge contributes to the goal of developing lifelong learners.

Westerly School is the only independent, co-educational elementary and middle school in the Long Beach area. It was founded in 1991 by a small group of adventurous parents who sought to create an extraordinary education for own their children and a unique school to serve the families of Long Beach.

Governed by a competent, hard-working and generous Board of Trustees and supported by strong internal leadership and a skilled faculty, the school is accredited by the selective California Association of Independent Schools (CAIS) and the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC).

Westerly seeks a diverse – ethnic, cultural, socio-economic – student body. Approximately one third of Westerly families benefit from the confidential financial aid program.

The parent community is extremely invested in and supportive of the school. Most Westerly families volunteer and/or make a financial donation to support the school’s budget.

You are invited to visit campus for a scheduled group tour or at a time more convenient for you. Please contact the Admission Office admission@westerlyschool.org or call Ms. Kalim Rayburn, Assistant Head for Admission and Technology at (562)981-3151 Ext. 13 to arrange your personal visit.
