Westminster School Reviews

14 reviews

This school's rigor is balanced with nurture - a work hard, play hard mentality where the students are held accountable, while enjoying their environment with fostered comradery and expected respect for one another. When students deviate from the values, they are promptly corrected with the student and teacher working together. The administration is committed to the founding mission which is extremely hard to come by today. They consider new ideas and input from all angles before immediately integrating into the longstanding system, which is important to maintain their success. The faculty and staff work feverishly to teach the students independence and fundamentals, including curriculum concepts, work ethic and organization, and study habits. We're happy to have selected Westminster School for our family where the school and family work together to provide the best for the students.

Review Westminster School

My wife and I are grateful for Westminster, a school that is expanding our son’s curiosity and critical thinking skills in the classroom and beyond. The classical curriculum has sparked in him a love of learning, and the vibrant arts program has ignited his creativity and confidence. But we’ve found that it's the unwavering emphasis on character that truly sets Westminster apart. Kindness, respect, and integrity are woven into every interaction. The administration, staff and teachers remain true to the school motto: Presenting Challenge, Building Character, Instilling Confidence. We're not just sending him to school, but rather joining a community, a nurturing environment where students can flourish and thrive. If you are thinking about where to send your child to school - adding a Westminster visit to your list is a must.

I am a Westminster alum, and we have sent our first child here as of 6th grade. There is no better place to educate your child for the future than Westminster. If you don't have that "keeping up with the Joneses" feeling, yet you want the best in educational excellence for your children, tour Westminster to understand the Classics experience in education.
