We strive to prepare young women to live lives of meaning, contribution, and impact. Core Values: • Integrity • Respect • Responsibility • Inclusion Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion In an increasingly interdependent and interconnected world, Westridge School must educate girls with the skills to recognize, respect, and embrace diversity of all kinds.
