- Transcripts/Progress Reports: The Transcript Release Form must be printed and signed by both parents/guardians. The signed form should be submitted to the applicant’s current school. The current school should send these reports directly to Westminster School. Parents may not hand-carry or mail these documents to Westminster.

- Classroom Visit:
Students applying for grades 1-7 will spend day shadowing a current student enrolled in the same grade. Contact Mrs. Nancy Schuler at admissions@westminsterschool.com to schedule your child’s visit. Students entering kindergarten will spend a play date in the pre-K classroom.
- Parent/Guardian Interview
Once the admission process is complete, parents/guardians will be invited to meet with the Admissions Director. This appointment affords parents the opportunity to ask additional questions and review the results of the on-campus testing (if applicable). It will also be an opportunity for the Admissions Officer to share with parents additional information about the Westminster experience. Both parents and/or guardians are asked to attend this meeting, which usually lasts approximately one hour.
Thank you for your interest in Westminster School. We look forward to meeting your family!
