High School Science and Math Teacher

Our mission is to identify the experiences that facilitate education for the future before us. One that empowers the individual and fosters a community of collaborative contributors through interdisciplinary, integrated projects that make the world our classroom.

We choose to be an independent organization so we can remain nimble and able to adopt and adapt new programs as our community needs them. Our autonomy gives us the freedom to partner with innovators and experts as we identify new areas of interest for our students and new opportunities to learn from some of the most interesting people and organizations in the world.

Westmont was founded 67 years ago by an independent community of parents and teachers passionate about creating an environment that inspired students to learn through experiences and respected the individual and their own interests, developmental needs and speeds, following the principles of Maria Montessori.

Year by year we have expanded and evolved the school to meet the needs of our community and have adapted our programs based on the changing world around us. Over time we have embraced more technology in the classroom to connect students to virtual experiences while simultaneously embracing more time out of the classroom to learn in the natural environments that exist in the 143 acres of forest, streams and ocean front that our 8 acre campus backs on to.

We have adopted technology as it has evolved to connect students to virtual experiences while simultaneously embracing more time out of the classroom to learn in the natural environments that exist in the 143 acres of forest, streams and ocean front that our 8 acre campus backs on to.

We have adopted technology as it has evolved to connect our community and create dialogue and transparency around how we operate as an organization. Throughout this constant change however, one thing has stayed constant, our culture and closeness as a community.

People often tell us we feel more like a group of family and friends than an institution of teachers and administrators.

The Westmont Montessori community includes around 270 students and 55 teachers and staff housed in three buildings on our campus. We are guided by our strategic plan and active Board, and supported by a vibrant PAC and engaged, family volunteers.

In recent years, we have built our landmark main building, expanded our lower and middle school programs,and introduced a High School program recognised as exceptional by BC Ministry of Education. This year, we areexpandingour High School program and redeveloping the High School building while continuing to deliver an exceptional learning experience to our students.
