Admissions

About

“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.”

Elaine White

Head of School

Arts

"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

Athletics

"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."

Tim Joncas '00
Director of Athletics

Hartford Partnerships

“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

Student Life

“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.”

Storm, Vacation & Travel Information

SNOW DAYS

Parents may call the school's switchboard (860) 408-3000 after hours for information related to bad weather. The Director of Studies will post Snow Day protocol via the school’s Community e-mail.

If any student anticipates a late arrival or absence, we ask that parents:

call Rachel Falco (860) 408-3020, or
call or email the Form Dean (list to the right), or
email Rachel Falco at rfalco@sanmingzhi.net

Any day student may come to school if distance or improved conditions later in the day make attendance feasible. We ask teachers to slow the pace of classes and emphasizing review. Because such a large percentage of the student body lives on campus as boarders or lives nearby, we rarely cancel classes.

VAN TRANSPORTATION ARRANGEMENTS

The Deans’ Office coordinates van service to Bradley Airport and Union Station (bus and rail) in Hartford during vacations. School vans drop students at these transportation centers, and then students make their own arrangements to complete the journey home. Since students return to school after vacations at different times and from different locations, coordinating local van transportation for their return is more complicated. After each vacation, the Deans’ Office will arrange for vans to have one pick-up time at the bus/train station in Hartford and at Bradley Airport. These van times will be posted on Westminster email News Conference the day of arrival back to school. Students usually arrange for a taxi to drive them back to school if the van pickups don’t match their arrival schedule.
