"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
The Kohn Squash Pavilion, which stands at the top of the school's entrance driveway, is the home of Westminster's Boys and Girls Squash programs. The facility, which opened in the winter of 2000, gives the Martlets what is arguably the finest squash facility in New England. Internationally ranked player Brett Martin feels it is one of the finest facilities in the world. Spectators can view the action on the eight international courts from a central elevated viewing platform, as well as from balconies that overlook the courts.
The Second Boys' Squash team practices every day at the same time that the First Boys' team practices and as a single team. This makes for intense practices during which the Second team players are pushed to develop their squash skills and to become ever more competitive by the more experienced and talented First team players. This also means that Second Boys' Squash players get instruction from both the First and Second team coaches on a daily basis. Traveling together, the two teams also compete against the same schools at the same time.
The Westminster squash program emphasizes sportsmanship above all else, but historically it has also been a very successful program at both the First and Second team levels. Over the past ten years, Second Boys’ Squash has compiled a match record of 84-46-2 against the very best New England prep schools. Many of the younger Second team players go on to compete for the First Team before they graduate.
