"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.”

KITT Invitational at Kingswood-Oxford - Tied for 6th
Over the course of 16 combined hours on both Saturday and Sunday, members of the boys’ varsity team traveled to nearby and neighboring Kingswood-Oxford to compete in the annual KITT Invitational. Much to the delight of all coaches and players, no rain! The teams were spread out among four different singles flights based on position, and two doubles flights in a similar format. Singles Saturday started off solid, with both captains David Suit ‘24 and Will Whiting ‘24 winning their openers, with Whiting winning his in a deciding super tiebreak. Logan Sun ‘24 battled hard in cold and windy conditions outside, and fell to a tough Groton opponent 6-4, 6-3. Hugh Olson ‘25 was at the #4 slot, and despite a great comeback in the second set, fell to a crafty and big hitting youngster from Choate. After the next few rounds we saw close matches across the board to finish Saturday’s action. Suit played the two time defending #1 singles champ from Hall High School and nearly stole the second set, Whiting fell 10-8 in the superbreaker against Choate, Sun and Hugh lost their consolation matches as well as a tight doubles match against Groton, and the Suit/Whiting team dropped a heartbreaker against the double lefty sophomore tandem from KO. Not our best ending, but Sunday was notably better, especially in doubles. Whiting and Suit dropped super close consolation singles matches, both 8-6, but regained some footing in doubles beating a Lawrenceville squad before falling to Deerfield 8-6. Great match experience for these two. Olson and Sun had to wait for singles to finish before taking out a gritty KO duo, then playing their best match of the weekend against the #2 Deerfield team and winning 8-6! Lots of time on court, tired legs, possible sunburns and windburns, but we capped off the day by visiting Trinity to watch Andrew Nelson ‘23 battle against Tufts. More to come for the squad later this week against Choate!
