NEXT SCHOOL PLACEMENT
The goal of Westover's College Counseling Office is to help all of our girls matriculate to colleges where they will thrive and from which they will emerge prepared to be leaders and agents of change in the world.
While students and parents are encouraged to work with the College Office at any time during their years at Westover, we begin the process with several events in the sophomore year. In the junior year we gain intensity as we gather for an eight-week college seminar that is followed by individual meetings. As we continue our journey to find schools that "fit” our students best, we strive to provide individual assistance and to build relationships with students and families.

Student Life
WESTOVER IS A PLACE WHERE GIRLS HAVE THE DESIRE AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONNECT WITH EACH OTHER, WITH THE ADULTS ON CAMPUS, AND THE BROADER WORLD AROUND THEM.
Our Campus Life program has been carefully designed to foster connection… allowing each girl to build a sense of self while she develops lifelong friendships and interests.
Girls voices matter at Westover. Have a great idea for a trip or social event? Let the Director of Residential Life, Chelsea Brown, know or speak to your student social representatives and we will work to make it happen.
