"Westminster School seeks curious and engaged students who want to grow and learn in a challenging and supportive environment. Students who are motivated to become their best selves both in and out of the classroom, taking advantage of the myriad of opportunities Westminster has to offer."
“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.”
"Through gritty trial and error, Westminster students grow into independent learners who are curious, critical thinkers. With the support of faculty, students gain the skills to understand the world around them and enrich their communities at school and beyond."
"Visual and performing artists at Westminster gain an understanding of traditions and methods while gaining confidence, analytical thinking and public presentation skills. Students also learn self-expression, collaboration and leadership while supportive faculty instill a lifelong appreciation of the arts."
David Chrzanowski Head of Visual and Performing Arts Department
"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."
"Driven by a desire to serve young people and aware of the obligation of a private school to serve 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 are the outgrowth of that mission with a direct impact on the young people of Hartford."
Kathleen Devaney Executive Director, Hartford Partnerships and Horizons at Westminster
“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.”
The top of the ladder brought home the bacon today, as the girls secured their first win. Chandler Green ‘23 got things going at no. 4. She won in three, but had to work hard to close out the match (3, 13, 9). With the evens going first as is customary, Elle Wilson ‘26 garnered the second point at no. 2 (6, 9, 7), using her superior precision to control points and deprive her hard-hitting opponent of opportunities to swing away. Following Green, Margaret Dilks ‘24 showed how much she has improved in just a week, using power and clever decision making to overwhelm her opponent at no 3 (5, 1, 4). The final point was brought home by Nicole Smith ‘23 at no. 1 (5, 7, 6), who out scrambled and outmaneuvered a tenacious defender. Further down the ladder, the Martlets came close but fell short. At no. 5 Alice Tao ‘24 lost three close games (9, 9, 9), and at no. 6, Emily Fonner ‘26 was probably just a few swings away from getting over the top in her four set loss ((6), 10, 8, 2). The final highlight was the exhibition win for Anna Min ‘26 at no. 9. The girls will now have to wait for the new year for their next competition
