Westbrook Academy prepares students from age four through twelfth grade to think rigorously, write clearly, lead with character, and choose the lives they want — with the academic foundation to make those choices real.
For more than sixty years, Westbrook has held two things together that most schools treat as opposites: high academic expectations and a deep regard for the children we teach.
A classical liberal-arts core in the lower grades, an inquiry-based middle school, and a Upper School with 24 AP and honors offerings. Students leave Westbrook ready for the most selective universities — and the lives that follow.
With an 8:1 student-to-teacher ratio and class sizes averaging 14, no student is invisible at Westbrook. Every advisor knows every advisee’s goals, worries, and growth.
Our six core virtues — honesty, courage, kindness, perseverance, gratitude, humility — aren’t posters on a wall. They’re modeled, taught, and rewarded across every grade.
From the curiosity of a five-year-old to the conviction of a graduating senior, Westbrook is a single intellectual community. Our Lower, Middle, and Upper School divisions share a faculty, a campus, and a philosophy — so the transitions feel natural, and the foundation keeps building.

In the past five years, Westbrook graduates have matriculated at 142 colleges and universities — from the Ivy League to top liberal arts colleges, leading research universities, conservatories, and service academies.
