Twenty-three varsity teams. Sixteen clubs. A theater season. Three orchestras. An outdoor program that takes every grade off campus once a year. This is what a Westbrook week actually looks like.
Mornings begin with a sit-down breakfast in the dining hall. First period at 8:10. Three blocks before lunch, four after. Long lunch — 50 minutes — because we believe students should actually sit and eat together. Athletics or arts from 3:30 to 5:00. Buses home at 5:15, with late buses at 6:30 for students staying for play rehearsal or labs.
Wednesdays are short-day Wednesdays: classes end at 1:00 to make room for assemblies, advisor meetings, community service blocks, or a quiet afternoon to catch up.
Sport is required at Westbrook through Grade 10 — not as punishment, but because we know what it teaches. Twenty-three varsity programs across three seasons, JV and Thirds for most. NESPAC member.
Cross country, soccer (B/G), field hockey, football, volleyball, golf, cheerleading. Six-time NESPAC champions in field hockey.

A 320-seat black-box theater with three productions a year. A purpose-built visual arts wing with painting studios, a print shop, ceramics with two kilns, a darkroom, and a digital arts lab. Three orchestras, a chorus, and three a cappella groups.

From an overnight at the Litchfield Hills in Grade 5 to a five-day White Mountains backpacking trip in Grade 11, every Westbrook student spends time off campus every year, in the woods, on the water, or up a mountain. We believe wilderness teaches things no classroom can.
