"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
Westminster's Girls' Tennis program supports a competitive First team that plays a challenging schedule in the Founders League. For the 2018 and 2019 seasons, the girls' team advanced to the New England Class B Championship Tournament and earned runner-up honors.
In the summer of 2013, Westminster's 12 hard courts were resurfaced to match the blue courts of the U.S. Open. These striking courts support Westminster's five competitive boys' and girls' teams.
During spring break the First Girls' candidates have joined coach Betsy Heckman for a week of preseason training in warmer climates. Most recently the team has trained at Saddlebrook Resort in Florida.
Graduates have gone on to play for competitive programs at schools like Northwestern University, Connecticut College, St. Lawrence, Skidmore, Colby, Trinity, Bates and Babson.
