We are proud to announce a major milestone in West End Day School’s history—the launch of our brand-new middle school program! For over 40 years, WEDS has guided students through their early academic and social journeys. Now, we are expanding that mission into the critical middle school years, offering even more support, more growth, and more opportunity for each student to thrive.

Our students learned all about the Hindu festival of lights—the most important Hindu holiday. We were so lucky to have a WEDS parent visit us to share the history of the celebration, her role in making Diwali a public school holiday in New York City, and her own personal Diwali traditions!
