Westfields International School

Application Procedures

Westfields is a vibrant community of learners and we need and welcome the partnership of our parents and friends. We meet frequently to learn, to talk, to question, to solve problems. We listen to other's opinions and desires and seek to accommodate these ideas and needs as comprehensively as possible. Institutional harmony is important to us.

We have a strong and committed teachers and staff and a comprehensive self governance system which, at every phase, serves, listens to and calls upon the school community. We also have an accreditation from International Schools Association (ISA) and very sound facilities.

Please remember that no written description, no matter how detailed, can reveal the special qualities of an institution. Westfields International School can be understood best only by being here.

We welcome and fully assist you during admission and enrollment to our school.

Do I need to prepare for my interview?

This is a time for us to talk to you, hear about your interests, the school you are attending, and what you are looking for in your next school. You should not be nervous about your interview. It is simply another way for us to get to know you better and for you to get to know Westfields.
