Our Academics
Our Faculty
Our master teachers and rigorous curriculum will ensure that our students are well prepared for the next level of education at top-tier colleges and universities across the country.
Teachers are core to facilitating learning. Our master teachers know how to teach and view their occupation as a calling from God - not just a job. They are passionate about: 1) excellence in their subject areas; 2) their love of students; and 3) connecting Sunday to Monday.
Secu rin g The ir Fut ure The foundation of our philosophy at Westlake Prep is to assist students in preparing for the future by providing a rigorous academic curriculum within the framework of a strong spiritual community. Daily prayers, Bible study classes and contact with Christian teachers give students the opportunity to grow closer to Jesus while preparing for their post graduation endeavors. The primary focus at Westlake is to prepare our students to excel academically at the college or university level. To accomplish this, Westlake has aligned its curriculum to systemically move our students toward this goal, one step at a time. This helps us accomplish our vision of impacting students for today, tomorrow and eternity. The academic progress and success of each of our students is important to us. Our administration and faculty are fully committed to help students succeed in this endeavor.

Ear ly Chi ldh ood Westlake’s Early Childhood Education consists of 3 Year Old Pre-Kindergarten, 4 Year Old Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten. These young learners explore the world with their senses and at their pace through varied activities and experimentation. The curriculum which is taught by
degreed, certified teachers revolves around monthly themed units with specific objectives for language arts, math, social studies, science and religion. Skills for physical, emotional, social, academic and spiritual development are interwoven within the academic areas.
Lower School Quality lower School education is critical to the development of today’s children. Westlake believes it is an exciting task to teach 1st through 5th graders as they learn to read...so that they can read to learn! It is our goal to provide students with a solid foundation in the basics of religion, language arts, mathematics, science and social studies. This is accomplished through a variety of
age-appropriate learning experiences, including handson activities, which create a love for learning that will last students throughout their lives. Enrichment classes in technology, Spanish, music and art add to the total educational experience. 4th and 5th grade students are also eligible to participate in organized interscholastic athletics.
Mid dle Sch ool Students in the Middle School are in transition from childhood to young adulthood. Thus, these are special, exciting years as students experience sudden bursts of growth, not only in their bodies, but also in their spiritual, academic and social lives. Westlake strives to make these years stimulating, productive and enjoyable. We desire to be in a partnership with the student and their family as they
travel through these interesting, and often challenging, years. Our college-prep school provides a well balanced curriculum with an emphasis on Science, Technology, Engineering and Math with a hands on delivery method. Students are encouraged to get involved in after school programs including athletics, music, journalism, art and technology.
The Future is Now! With the addition of our Middle School, Westlake is moving toward its vision to become the premier PreK – 12th grade private, Christian school in the West Houston area. Exceptional teachers, quality facilities, challenging curriculum and a love for each and every child will continue to move us toward that vision.
