"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."
"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
"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 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.”
Patrick Owens Executive Director, Horizons at Westminster & Hartford Partnerships
“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.”
“Support for Westminster School provides a way to remember the past, shape the present and steward the future of the school.”

Second Boys' Squash fights valiantly against Taft in losing effort
The Martlets knew that traveling to Watertown in the rain to play a very talented Taft team that had only lost one match all season would present a major challenge, but playing without their #2 player Chanler Miller '18, who missed the entire week because of an illness, made the task all but impossible. Despite many entertaining and hard fought points, the Black and Gold ended up losing nine of the 11 matches.There were five four-game matches and three five-game matches, which indicates just how evenly matched the teams were. Minh Nguyen '16 playing at #4 and Connor Seeley '18 playing at #8 were the only two Martlets to win their matches, and they share the nail, not just for being victorious, but also for showing resolve and good sportsmanship under some particularly trying circumstances. Six Seconds players return next year and they will be augmented by a batch of players from this year's highly successful Thirds team, so Coach Cervas is already eagerly looking forward to the 2016-2017 season. Coach Cervas would like to thank all of the parents for their support during the season, too. Full match results: #1 Addision Cilmi '16 lost to Peter Kiegher, (7), (6), 8, (11) #2 Luke Tressy '16 lost to Jacques Pellet, (6), (1), retired at 3-4 #3 Andrew Doucette '18 lost to Hunter Lord, 4, 8, (3), (7), (10) #4 Minh Nguyen '16 defeated Aidan Andreews, (7) 8, (6), 5, 7 #5 Jack Bitterli '16 lost to Dylan Powell, (4), 12, (9), (9) #6 Riley Wood '18 lost to Ogden Thimpson, (4), (11), 11, (10) #7 Connor Anderson '16 lost to Isaiah Jones, (9), (7), (5) #8 Connor Seeley '18 defeated Zander Salnikoff, 8, (4), 8, 6 #9 Miller Guth '16 lost to Garrett Guiney, (5), (7), 6, 8, (8) #10 Jack Sargent '17 lost to Peter Oh, (9), (7), (3) #11 Chris Hark '17 lost to Tattnall Holt, (8), (5), 9, (4)
