Visit Westminster

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

Westminster is, at its core, a community and is best highlighted through personal interactions. As such, we very much hope you will be able to visit campus. To schedule a visit, please call the Admissions Office at (860) 408-3060 or email admit@westminster-school.org. 
 
If your schedule permits an informal visit before the end of the school year, we will be offering student-led tours through May 21. As highlighted on our Events page, our annual Preview event on May 16 from 9:45 - 11 a.m., is a great opportunity to both see campus and start making connections this spring.  
 
We will also be offering student-led tours and the opportunity to chat with admission counselors throught the summer, beginning June 15. For those with plans to be in the area, these visits can provide a great introduction to Westminster. Tours are generally available Monday - Thursday at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. 
 
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 touring and interviewing in the fall, we will begin booking appointments in August. Interviews and tours will be available Monday - Saturday starting Monday, September 22.  Ideally, you should plan to interview before the January 15 application deadline. For planning purposes, please note that we do not interview during our Thanksgiving (Nov. 20 - Dec. 1) and winter (Dec. 17 - Jan. 4) breaks.
