Sample Schedule
Curious about what a day in Lower School looks like?
Uniforms
All Westridge students are required to wear a uniform designed to support a school setting where girls feel comfortable and able to dress appropriately for a learning environment. Find out how to purchase your uniform below.
Books
Lower School students do not need to purchase their own textbooks as they are included in tuition and fees. Some books are given to students to keep, while others are classroom copies that must be returned at the end of the school year.
Dining
Let’s head to the Commons! Westridge Dining Services provides the community with a variety of healthy, nourishing (and delicious!) menu options while meeting the needs of all ages, activity levels, diets, and preferences.
Bus & After School Program
Childcare for the Westridge After School Program is supervised by the Child Educational Center (CEC). This program is for students in grades 4-8 and runs from dismissal until 6 pm.
Students are able to stay on campus and play with friends, do school work (supervised program for both the Lower and Middle School), collaborate on projects, and participate in activities and clubs facilitated by the CEC. This extra time helps create a sense of belonging for the girls, an awareness that this campus is a special place just for them.
We currently offer bus service to the Los Feliz area (bus routes are determined based on demand).

In combination with our physical education program, athletics in the Lower School prepare students for the array of competitive teams available in Middle and Upper School.
