A welcome from the Headmaster
“I take immense pride in our diverse, multicultural community, and in an education built on four pillars — academics, sports, culture and pastoral care.”
Founded by the Hindu Society in 1992, Westridge is an ATS-accredited, independent day school and a key feeder for Westridge High School. With state-of-the-art facilities and intentionally small classes, every child can grow into a well-rounded individual and a future leader.
Mr KanjeeHeadmasterWhich part of Westridge is for your child?
Two sections, one campus. Children can start with us at two and stay until they leave for high school.
