JK- Grade 5
Introduction
École Westhaven School is a dynamic JK to grade 5 school with roots that run deep within our local community. The school successfully offers four programming options for students: an English program, a French Immersion program, a Montessori program, and a Junior Kindergarten (JK) program for 3 and 4 year olds. The school has a strong, supportive, and active School Council parent group who work together with the school to ensure that the whole ‘village’ is involved in helping our young children grow and learn.

Mission
École Westhaven School’s mission is to offer a high quality education to our students; an
education that will set them up for life-long success regardless of where their future
life-path takes them. From junior kindergarten and on up to grade 5, through both our
English Language and French Immersion programming, we provide outstanding
academic choices to parents and students. In addition to student academic success, our
goal is to provide a safe learning environment with a welcoming atmosphere that
promotes a sense of belonging and family. We maintain an inclusive, respectful school
community where we can provide a foundation for a life-long love of learning. Working
together with parents, our goal is to teach, model and build skills and attitudes that will
set children up for success right from preschool age through to adulthood.
