"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 Berkshire
The boys came back from winter vacation ready to go, and came out strong on the restart with a solid 6-1 effort against Berkshire. The match was overall closer than the scores, with many of the boys requiring 4 games to finish their matches. The first round of matches saw the even numbers playing first. First off was Steven Xie ‘26 at #8, who won routinely and quickly dropping a total of 8 points in the entire match. Nick Dowling ‘24, Phil Zhang ‘24, and Daniel Edwards ‘24 all played very competitive matches at numbers 2,4 and 6 respectively. Dowling split the first two games before dropping the third game 10-12, and ran out of steam in the 4th game. Zhang won a very competitive first game 14-12, before continuing the momentum to win the final two games 11-6 and 11-9. At #6, Edwards also split the first two games before stepping up his game to win the final two games 11-6, 11-3. As the first round was coming to a close, Charlie Raymond ‘24 won quickly and efficiently at #7, and dropped a total of 9 points throughout his match. Robert Yalda ‘24 and Ryan Sohn ‘27 were next to finish. Yalda played some tight games throughout, but was able to win all 3 to seal the team win for the Martlets. Meanwhile, Sohn played a very solid first two games (8,7) before dropping the third game 8-11. However, he rebounded nicely to take the final game 11-7. Finally, last off the court was Mark Yang ‘26 at #1. After dropping a very close first game 13-15, he rebounded nicely to win the last three games.
