"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.”

Martlets Defeat Canterbury
The Martlets played against the Saints of Canterbury this past Saturday. A beautiful fall day, Westminster was eager to play their second game of the week. The team came out strong with plenty of energy and grit. Looking to attack and make runs in open spaces, Westminster was able to score early on in the first half. Within the first ten minutes, Haley Cramer ‘24 played a great long ball to Elysse Cumberland ‘24. Cumberland, after dribbling up the right side of the field and into the box, crossed the ball to Mia Fluckiger ‘26 who found the back of the net with a one-touch finish. Shortly thereafter, Cramer received the ball right outside the 18 from Jillian Gregorski ‘24. Picking her head up and seeing the open space, Cramer slotted the ball to Fluckiger for the goal. With 22 minutes left in the half, Gregorski found Cramer wide-open in the midfield. After a few dribbles, Cramer fired a shot from a distance of 30 yards and successfully found the upper corner of the net. A few minutes later, Sarah Lenox ‘24 scored her first goal of the season off of a great leading ball into the box from Gregorski. While the Martlets entered the second half up 4-0, the Saints did not give up and scored within the first two minutes. Westminster responded with a goal scored by Kaitlyn McQueeney ‘24 and assisted by Lenox. Open in the box, McQueeeney took one touch and placed a driven ball into the far corner of the Saint net. The Martlets made the score 6-1 with another goal from Blessing Kieh ‘24. After a deflection in the box, Kieh swiftly moved past a Canterbury defender and found the back of the net. With momentum on her side, Kieh scored another just moments afterward off of a great long ball from McQueeney to make the score 7-1. With 18 minutes left in the match, Canterbury scored a second goal but Westminster scored the final goal of the game. After receiving the ball from Cramer and dribbling into the box, Gregorski placed the ball into the back of the Canterbury net. With this win, the Martlets are 10-1-1 on the season. The team looks forward to their next game against Taft this upcoming Wednesday, November 1st. The game will be played at 2:30 PM at home.
