Location
Westminster School is located in Simsbury, Connecticut approximately 12 miles north of Hartford. Our campus, on 200-forested acres, is situated atop Williams Hill overlooking the Farmington River and downtown Simsbury — a quintessential New England town. Bradley International Airport is a short 20-minute drive away. We are conveniently located halfway between New York City (120 miles) and Boston (110 miles).
Simsbury Among the Best in Connecticut and the U.S.

As recognized by Money magazine, Simsbury has “that special something that makes it a great place to live.” From a casual cup of coffee or slice of pizza with friends to a nice night out with parents, students and faculty members enjoy spending time in town. "Highly walkable, bikeable and livable … with a small-town feel in a photo ready setting" according to CTForMe, it is not unusual to see students and faculty members running, walking and biking around Simsbury on weekends. The centrality of Westminster’s location also means easy access for weekend outings to the movies, mall, hiking, restaurants, performing arts venues and more.
Admissions Visits
The admissions office will be offering student-led tours along with the opportunity to chat with admission counselors Monday-Thursday throughout the summer beginning June 10. For those with plans to be in the area, these visits can provide a great introduction to Westminster. Tours are generally available at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. To schedule, please call the admissions office at (860) 408-3060 or email admit@westminster-school.org . .
If you happen to be in the area at a time when our office is not open, you are welcome to drive around campus. The Driving Tour link on this page will provide access to an audio tour, a campus map and some general information.
For those interested in visiting in the fall, we will begin booking appointments in August. Interviews and tours will be available Monday-Saturday starting Saturday, Sept. 21. Ideally, you should plan to interview before the Jan. 15 application deadline. For planning purposes, please note that we do not interview during our Thanksgiving (Nov. 22-Dec. 2) and winter (Dec. 19-Jan. 6) breaks.
