Discover Your Origin Story at Westridge
On our campus girls feel a sense of ownership over their academic journey and they experience the right balance of challenge, freedom, and support to forge their own remarkable trajectory in school and in life.
Over a Century of Never Standing Still
Since 1913, Westridge has empowered generations of girls to challenge the status quo, improve their school and the world around them, and look for ways to lead and serve their community. But our forward-thinking nature also extends to our present: we're not just readying girls for the future—we're empowering and educating them to shape it.

Tigers are fierce and courageous, and learn the values of discipline, dedication, selflessness, and hard work through athletics, which begin with recreational tournaments in Lower School and expand to 10 competitive sports in Middle School and 13 in Upper School.
