The school is located on Mulholland Drive across from the Bel Air Presbyterian Church. Westland is accredited by the California Association of Independent Schools (CAIS), and Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) through 2016. When Westland opened in 1949 it was the first progressive school on the West Coast, operating under the educational philosophy of John Dewey. One of the founders was child psychologist Marie H. Briehl.[1] Students were encouraged to explore their subjects hands-on and were taken on numerous field trips to learn about the world firsthand.[2] Many of the early students were the children of writers and actors under the "Hollywood blacklist", including Charlie Chaplin, Abraham Polonsky, and Ring Lardner, Jr.[2] The school opened with 13 students in a couple of rented rooms.[2] It expanded in 1957[3] and moved to its current location in 1965, becoming the first school to locate in what has now developed into a major "institutional corridor" in the area of the Sepulveda Pass.[4] Today the school has about 130 students and an annual tuition of around $22,000.00. The students are divided into "groups" rather than grades, which may include children of varying ages.[5] References1. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1993/12/22/obituaries/marie-briehl-dies-pioneer-in-analysis-of-children-was-96.html|title=Marie Briehl Dies; Pioneer in Analysis Of Children Was 96|last=Saxon|first=Wolfgang|date=December 22, 1993|work=New York Times|accessdate=3 November 2013}} 2. ^1 2 {{cite news|url=http://articles.latimes.com/1999/feb/16/local/me-8540|title=Pioneering School Marks 50th Year|last=Wedner|first=Diane|date=February 16, 1999|work=Los Angeles Times|accessdate=31 October 2013}} 3. ^{{cite news|url=https://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/latimes/doc/167175549.html?FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:AI&type=historic&date=Jul%2028,%201957&author=&pub=Los%20Angeles%20Times&edition=&startpage=&desc=Land%20Purchased%20and%20Plans%20Told%20for%20School%20Expansion|title=Land Purchased and Plans Told for School Expansion|date=July 28, 1957|work=Los Angeles Times|accessdate=3 November 2013}} 4. ^Jon D.
