Westdale Middle School has an enrollment of 260 students in Grade 7, 8, and 9; it shares a large yard with Beaverlodge Elementary School.
This is an early example of the open-air concept of teaching and learning which arrived in Canada from the United States; children learn by self-discovery and at different rates so traditional grades blend and students learn in part from each other.
