About Westminster



 

Supporting Westminster School

Since its founding by the visionary Jane Goll in 1962, Westminster School has evolved steadily and grown to become the model of excellence it is today.  Among comparable independent schools in the area, Westminster provides a superior elementary program (Pre K-8) for the lowest tuition, but tuition revenues alone are not enough to cover the school’s day-to-day needs, or to secure the school’s future.
 
Under the stewardship of the current headmaster, Ellis Glover, Westminster School remains true to its mission and focused on its vision of providing a Classical education for the 21st century.  The current needs of the community determine the strategic goals that have become an integral part of that vision: a new athletic field, cutting-edge technology, expanded facilities for after-school programs and administrative offices.   With the opening of The Griffin Academy pre-school in the fall of 2010, Westminster’s vision for the future has already begun to take shape. 

For almost 50 years, giving and volunteering have been mainstays of  Westminster’s philanthropic tradition. We are grateful to our loyal donors – current families, alumni, alumni parents, grandparents, trustees, faculty and staff, corporations, vendors and friends – for their financial support, and to our volunteers for contributing invaluable gifts of time, energy and talent to the school community.  As our 50th anniversary approaches, we hope that the spirit of giving will continue to move Westminster forward in the next half century and beyond.
