"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
For the past twenty years, Westminster’s boys have been known for their controlled style of play and perennial competitiveness, frequently earning ranking among the top twenty teams in New England. The First team competes annually for the Founders League title, playing a 16 game schedule against other schools in the Founders League and against other local independent prep schools. The boys won the school’s first New England Class A championship in 1991 and repeated the feat in 1992. Since then, they have had many successful seasons, making it to the semifinal game of the Class B tournament in 2000 and 2004.
Westminster has nurtured players who have gone on to participate at both the Division I and the Division III levels at schools such as Bowdoin, Colby, Colgate, Holy Cross, Maryland, Middlebury, Trinity, Denison, and Yale.† Currently, alums are playing at William & Mary, Colby, Rhodes, St. Michael's and WPI.
