Attending Westmount Secondary School
The transition to secondary school is an exciting time in your child’s life. In high school, students explore their interests and plan their future. At Westmount, students get a chance to experience a unique and innovative program. As a system school, Westmount attracts students who strive to develop goal-setting, effective time management, and independent learning skills in a self-directed, self-paced learning environment.
The Westmount program is open to all students who would benefit from a self-paced, self-directed program. Students at Westmount come from across Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board (HWDSB) and represent a variety of learners. Like all HWDSB secondary schools, Westmount offers workplace, college, applied and academic pathways.
If you believe the Westmount program is right for your child, please submit the Notice of Intent by January 20 as well as a copy of your child’s Grade 8 Progress Report. Families will be told by January 27 whether their child has the necessary learning skills to be successful at Westmount. For more information on the Westmount program, please read the attached letter.
