"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 Williston
The Martlets returned from long weekend ready to battle with Williston. Westminster came out strong with Mark Yang ‘26, Phil Zhang ‘24 and Daniel Edwards ‘24 all winning in 3 games. At #1, Yang came out strong before fighting through a close second game which he won 13-11. He used the momentum from this close second game to quickly take the third game 11-1 for the three game win. At #3, Phil played great squash to win in quick fashion, 11-5, 11-3 and 11-7. #5 Daniel matched him, winning 11-8, 11-2 and 11-6. To round out the first round of matches, Steven Xie ‘26 at #7 dropped a tight first game 10-12 before rebounding to drop a total of 10 points in the final 3 games. After the match was sealed, we continued with the second round of matches. At #6, Charlie Raymond ‘24 won his match in quick fashion, dropping a total of 17 points between the 3 games. At #2 Robert Yalda ‘24 also dropped his first game 10-12, but rebounded to take the next three games 11-5, 11-4 and 11-6. Finally, at #4, Ryan Sohn ‘27 dropped the first game 3-11 before coming back and taking the next 2 games 11-6 and 11-3. After dropping the fourth game 10-12, he went down big in the final game before coming back and making the final game close, which he ended up losing 9-11. Connor Scollans ‘26 played good squash to win his match at #8 in 3 games, 11-6 12-10 and 11-6. Grant Owen ‘24 played a very competitive match at #9. After dropping the first 11-7, the duo each saved several game balls before Grant took the second game 16-14. He used this momentum to win an 11-9 third game, but dropped the fourth in a close affair 12-14. The fifth game was also a battle, but unfortunately Grant dropped this game 9-11. He was kind enough to play a second match later in the day so that another Williston player could get a match. After winning the first game 11-6, they split 11-9 games in the next two and Grant sealed the 2-1 win in the shorter ⅔ game format. The Martlets will be back in action on Saturday when we travel to AVon to play Avon and Choate in our second “tri” match of the year.
