Career Opportunities

I want to be able to bring a school to the city that kids feel proud to go to, that they feel proud that they graduated from Westbrook Academy, that they are able to learn, and be able to educate and move on to the next step in college.
– Russell Westbrook, Co-Founder and Board Member

What They Say

I would definitely recommend Westbrook Academy. It’s a fun place. School can always be fun. The teachers listened to you. The staff cares about you. And no matter what neighborhood you’re in, it’s a safe place for our students. They have a voice which is important. They have things to say. Parents, we have a voice. We just have to be involved. We have to be there. And that’s what makes the village, the students, the parents and the staff.
