Our Academics
Westfield Prep serves students in grades 7-12 with a rigorous, research-backed curriculum that pairs strong core academics with a wide range of electives. Teachers use data to guide instruction and give students personalized support, so your child builds the critical thinking, communication, and problem-solving skills they'll need for high school and beyond. In the high school grades, Advanced Placement courses and dual enrollment let students take on college-level work and explore what comes next, whether that's college, career training, military service, or the workforce.
Our Grade Levels
Middle School
Middle school is a time of personal growth and exploration. Students deepen their understanding across subjects, applying higher-level thinking and problem-solving to real-world ideas. With a strong academic and moral foundation, they’re prepared for the challenges of high school and the opportunities ahead.
High School
High school is a time for students to take on new challenges and grow both academically and personally. They build on what they learned in middle school by thinking more deeply, solving harder problems, and applying their skills to real-world situations. With a strong academic base and solid character, they are ready for the responsibility of high school and the opportunities it will bring.
