"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 joyous participation of our diverse school community across our entire program, from our academic classrooms, to our studios and labs, to our gyms, fields and rink, and to our service to Hartford community partners. Westminster students are inspired by opportunities to make a difference in all their endeavors."
"By the time students prepare to leave Westminster to further their academic experience in college, we hope to have instilled a nascent passion for a number of disciplines."
"Visual and performing artists at Westminster gain an understanding of traditions and methods while gaining confidence, analytical thinking and public presentation skills. Students also learn self-expression, collaboration and leadership while supportive faculty instill a lifelong appreciation of the arts."
David Chrzanowski 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 aware of the obligation of a private school to serve 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 are the outgrowth of that mission with a direct impact on the young people of Hartford."
Kathleen Devaney Executive Director, Hartford Partnerships and Horizons at Westminster
With the arrival of Westminster’s First Girls' Golf in 2016, the Martlets program is quickly emerging with excitement and promise. Following the team's core tenets of developing a love for the game, working hard and improving every day, and enjoying the spirit of competition, the girls gladly embrace the challenges inherent with the team's aspirations.
The Martlets home course is Hop Meadow Country Club in Simsbury, a challenging Geoffrey Cornish-designed track that provides a great venue for both practice and play. In addition to working closely with the Westminster coaches, all players receive lessons throughout the year from Hop Meadow’s PGA teaching professional, Ken Doyle, who is widely considered one of the best swing development professionals in the country.
The team plays against competitive opponents in both the Founders League and among other Western New England secondary schools, and the girls participate at the conclusion of the season in the Founders League Championship and the Pippy O’Connor New England Championship, an event that gathers all of the best teams in New England to celebrate girls’ golf and to compete at the highest level.
