Westfield students arrive at 9 am and are greeted by the homeroom staff in the student Commons. After checking their phones into the "Phone Hotel" and placing their lunch orders, students head to their first period. All classes and lunch periods are 45 minutes. During lunch students are encouraged to go outside and move - whether that means shooting hoops, kicking a soccer ball, taking a few laps around campus, or simply enjoying the fresh air. The school day ends at 2:30.

The PG program is for students needing extra time to prepare for college, or wanting support in taking local college classes, or needing to make up some high school courses in order to graduate. Our summer program offers up to 5 weeks of credit recovery, enrichment and maintaining academic progress. Many of the students also benefit from continuing in individual therapy while attending the Summer Program.

Westfield accepts students in grades 7-12 in need of academic and emotional support. The curriculum follows the New York State standards. Our school credits have been recognized in full by local school districts and leads to high school graduation. With a small population of students and a caring and dedicated hand-picked staff, the sense of community in the school is a large part of what creates the "Westfield effect" of lasting change for students.
