Westmount Grade 9 Letters of Intent for 2024-25 Due January 15
Westmount Secondary School (WSS) is a system school at which students from across HWDSB 
strive to develop skills in the areas of goal setting, effective time management and independent learning in a self-directed, self-paced learning environment.
In Westmount’s Self-Directed, Self-Paced learning environment, launched in 1990, Westmount students are expected to manage their learning time and determine with teachers how to demonstrate their learning.
Westmount students must provide their own transportation to and from school. Westmount does not have a catchment area; all students in HWDSB can access the school if interested in this model. Like all schools, we can only accommodate the number of students for whom we have the space and resources to meet their needs.
The Letter of Intent to attend Westmount for incoming Grade 9 students is due January 15, 2024 at 1 p.m.
