Message from the Director

Do you aspire to be an author, engineer, athlete, or architect?  At Westover you'll find a school that will, for starters, challenge you both in and outside of the classroom. We have a dynamic and diverse student body of 209 girls from 19 states and 16 countries for grades 9 to 12, with plenty of course and extracurricular offerings to encourage you to expand your thinking and problem solving skills in a rigorous, yet collaborative learning environment.

Click through our site and learn more about what Westover has to offer. Schedule a visit to come and see why our students and alumnae chose Westover to prepare them for college and life's challenges. Experience Westover for yourself and feel what it's like to live and learn in an all girls school. You'll know, then, if you want to be a part of our community and complete our application.

Mary Robbins Hillard set her sights in 1909 on opening a school of her own that was 'west' and 'over' the hills from the school she served as Assistant Head in Waterbury, Connecticut. Together with architect Theodate Pope Riddle, Miss Hillard opened Westover School nearly 100 years ago. Rich in history and tradition, Westover continues to inspire all those who walk through her doors.

Take a closer look at Westover by requesting our admission materials and by browsing our site. You'll find there's a lot to like about us.
