Our Mission

At West End Secondary School, our mission is to empower students to achieve at the highest level by cultivating their innate curiosity and nurturing their natural ability to wonder and create. A WESS education emphasizes creativity, discovery, and resilience, as well as the central role that the student plays in his or her own learning process, understanding that students learn best when they discern the value in learning and enjoy getting there. Graduates will leave WESS equipped to confront new challenges with confidence & an inner reserve of fortitude that naturally arises from conquering material that once seemed too complicated.

(If you need your OSIS #, please ask your Crew teacher)

Every year, we ask all families, teachers, and staff of grades 3-K through 12, and students in grades 6-12 to take the NYC School Survey. The survey gives school leaders a better understanding of what members of their school community think about their school. The information collected by the survey is designed to support a dialogue among all members of the school community about how to make the school a better place to learn.
