About

Like Gas City, Westview Elementary School follows the progressive tradition. We treat each student as an individual, and we understand students learn differently. We designed our curriculum to meet these different needs. How students learn is always changing; therefore, our curriculum is always changing. For example, some children learn better through doing, so we have our Westview Habitat Culture Center available for teachers who want to take their students into nature to create a hands-on learning experience.

Another important tool in our education kit is technology. We are an advanced school, and we recognize the importance of technology. As technology improves, more computer programs offer different forms of interactive learning. One program we value greatly is the Waterford Early Reading Program, which offers a language arts curriculum. The program targets children in the beginning stages of learning. It focuses on topics such as phonics, text comprehension, vocabulary, readiness skills, and much more. We find that incorporating fun, interactive programs into our curriculum really helps keep the children engaged.
