multi-purpose room modern rendering for fall 2019

Westmont students and staff have a newly modernized campus as part of the Ocean View School District's $169 million school modernization program. Our school houses a beautifully upgraded multi-purpose room, modern classrooms and furniture, safety fencing, and more. View visual renderings of the Westmont campus. Our permanent campus is located at 8251 Heil Avenue in Westminster, near Heil and Beach Boulevard.

We are home to the area's only elementary band program, a unique opportunity for upper grade students interested in flute, clarinet, alto saxophone, trumpet, trombone, baritone, or percussion instruments. In 2018, Westmont became the first elementary school in the area to offer this program for fourth and fifth grade students. Our staff worked collaboratively with the Orange County Department of Education to pursue a funding opportunity from Buchanan Street Partners, who generously provided Westmont with a $50,000 Buchanan Music Matters grant.
