Mission Statement
The mission of The Westview School is to provide a stimulating, specialized learning environment where high-functioning children with autism spectrum disorder can reach their potential.
About This Cause
The Westview School believes that children with autism spectrum disorder can grow and learn through a nurturing, positive and happy environment that enhances their self-esteem. The Westview School was founded by Jane Stewart in 1981 as a pre-school for children intellectually disabled. Four three-year-old children were in the first class, which was held in her home. The following year, the program, along with eight students, moved into a small cottage in Spring Branch. Enrollment continued to grow. Throughout the next several years, the population of students served changed from children with various intellectual disabilities and other developmental delays to primarily children with autism. The school’s student body is now comprised of children who have high functioning autism spectrum disorder and other neurologically-based pervasive developmental disorders. In March 1996, the school was granted 501(c)(3) not-for-profit Status, and the decision was made by the Board of Directors to build a new facility to expand the program. The Board is committed to delivering to the Houston community a school for children with autism spectrum disorder that will be a permanent resource for future generations. Westview serves 150 children ages two through fifteen with enrollment at capacity for the 2017 – 2018 school year.
