About

“At Westminster, we aspire to an extraordinarily ambitious commitment to secondary education, a commitment to nurture the participation of our diverse school community across our entire program — from academics, to studios and labs, gyms, fields and rink, and service to our Hartford community partners. Westminster students are inspired by opportunities to make a difference in all their endeavors.”

Elaine White

Head of School

Arts

"The visual and performing arts program at Westminster weaves the community together and nurtures the spirit of the Westminster campus. The arts at Westminster inspire students of all levels of experience from the very beginner to the advanced artist to practice the freedom of creative self-expression. Professional teachers guide students to work through the creative process from inception to the presentation, building a lifelong respect and appreciation for the arts."

Kerry Kendall
Head of Visual and Performing Arts Department

Athletics

"Athletic success at Westminster is measured not only by wins and losses, but through the bonds created between teammates and coaches, individual and team improvement, and personal growth. When students learn how to be competitors and how to cooperate with one another, they are better prepared to be citizens of the global world."

Tim Joncas '00
Director of Athletics

Hartford Partnerships

“Driven by a desire to serve young people and conscious of the opportunities for private schools to support a public purpose, Westminster School’s mission statement concludes with the call ‘to commit to a life of service beyond self.’ Westminster’s Hartford Partnership programs aim to deliver on that mission while making a direct impact on people and programs in Hartford.”

Student Life

“Involvement will be the key to your success at Westminster School. Get involved with the arts, try a sport you've never played, start your own club, run for student council. You will get out of this experience exactly what you put into it. Do these things early in your life — keep seeking more opportunities for growth.”

At Home On The Hill

Day students have the opportunity to explore every aspect of life on the Hill, with the caveat of returning home at the end of the day (whether that’s at 5 p.m. after practice or 10 p.m. when boarders check-in is up to the student!). Every performance, every meal, every van trip on the weekend is available to day students. And, as our day students come to discover early into their career at Westminster, every dorm room quickly opens to them, as well.

With nearly a third of our community going home at the end of each day, day students claim spaces, such as the Armour Academic Center, as their home base, where they can chat, put sports gear or backpacks into lockers and await pick-up. Day students often find that Westminster feels like home, so they stay in a boarder’s room overnight on a Saturday.

Just as Westminster strives to create a comfortable, home-like setting for its boarding population, so too does it aim to include all day students in all aspects of our community. By the end of their Sixth Form year, many day students get accustomed to hearing from peers and teachers, “I thought you were a boarder because you’re here so often!”
