2022-2023 Blog Theme: Intangibles
Throughout the Admission journey, you will gain a lot of specific information about Harvard-Westlake through our Information Sessions, Family Visiting Days, and other touchpoints with the Admission Office. But every institution has “intangibles.” What are those aspects of our school that are simply felt? Perhaps equally as important as the topics listed on our FAQ page are the small moments, rare experiences, and institutional idiosyncrasies that make-up the spirit of HW. Enjoy this blog to fill in the blanks: the blank spaces between classes, clubs, and homework.
