A brief history

For over 50 years, West-Mont School has been promoting excellence in education and a life-long love of learning. What began as Victoria’s first Montessori school in 1954 has blossomed into a unique and innovative independent school serving students from Early Primary through Grade 8.

 

Today, West-Mont is owned and operated by the families it serves, some of whom are former students who attended the original school over 30 years ago!

 

The Western Communities Montessori Society (WCMS) is a registered charity and non-profit society under the Society Act of BC, and is comprised of parents, grandparents, and other members of the community who share West-Mont’s vision.

 

The pioneering spirit that started it all in 1954 is still alive and well in an innovative holistic curriculum that reflects the needs of a rapidly changing world.
