Our School
About Our School
Westbrook School is a Kindergarten to Grade 8 school which has been in operation since 1953. The school is located in the foothills fifteen minutes north of Cochrane, Alberta on Highway 22 in the heart of an agricultural/ranching and acreage area. In 2018/2019, RVS approved the building of a new Westbrook School and the school community worked closely with the team to help design the new school. Construction started in the 2019/2020 school year & should be ready to welcome students in the Fall of 2020.
Westbrook has a school population of over 160 students. We have 7 classrooms, a Library/Learning Commons, technology (Mac & Chrome Books & iPads) to nearly supply the entire school, including LCD projectors, integrated whiteboards (Smart Boards), and Apple TVs in every classroom. We provide complimentary classes (Art, Technology, Music) throughout the school as well as two options (Drama & French) to our grade 7/8's.
We have a tradition of strong academic programming, dedicated staff, a supportive and involved community, and an excellent extra-curricular program. Westbrook School is a child-centered school. It is our belief that every child has a right to the best education we can provide. We believe it is important to help our students maintain a positive self-image and work collaboratively to meet all students needs.
The Westbrook experience is a unique opportunity for everyone. The benefits of a smaller size school, where student strengths and areas of growth are well known, parents and staff work closely as a team to ensure students achieve success and meet their full potential as learners academically, socially, and physically.
Mission Statement
The Westbrook School's purpose is to provide students every opportunity for intellectual, physical, social, and emotional growth utilizing the strengths and resources of the local, provincial, and global community.
The school also provides educational leadership within the community to promote this growth in our children.
Vision Statement
Our vision is for Westbrook School and the community at large to be a collegial and collaborative partnership of learners where students experience the opportunity to achieve their personal best in a safe, respectful, supportive and caring environment so that they may become responsible and valued citizens.
