A Message from Our Head of School


Dear Families,

I am honored and pleased to welcome you to Westerly School of Long Beach. I remember during my initial visit to the school, I could scarcely contain my excitement at what a dynamic and warm, welcoming community I found.

From the students who led assembly, to the playful conversations at lunch and the engaged, creative students at work in their classrooms, I was impressed by the strong relationship between teachers and students. I was also moved by the number of students and families that reflect a diverse community, and the school's commitment to ensuring an inclusive, welcoming environment, evident throughout the campus.

Our school’s approach to educating the whole child, and emphasis on attending to students’ social emotional health while instilling in them a passion to be lifelong learners, resonated with me, and I am sure it will resonate with you too, especially as you visit and us on campus and observe the school’s values put into practice.

I look forward to meeting you and sharing with you all that Westerly and Long Beach represents.

In peace,

Rebecca Geary

Head of School
