The school moved to its present location in 1961, after selling their former building to Selwyn House School.[2]

Westmount is part of the English Montreal School Board[1] and was formerly part of the Protestant School Board of Greater Montreal.[3]

Despite being located in one of the wealthiest suburbs of Montreal, the school attracted a diverse mix of students from all neighbourhoods and racial backgrounds.[4] A long-time teacher at the school noted that most wealthy families would send their children to private schools, so the school received mostly students from disadvantaged backgrounds.[5]
