Curriculum Highlights: Enrichment

Students in 8th grade are closely overseen by the Headmaster who, in addition to supervising an 8th grade homeroom, chaperoning field trips, and directing their drama production, also teaches an 8th grade Enrichment Class. Usual topics include personal presentation, etiquette and social graces; extemporaneous speaking; interview tips and mock interviews (in preparation for high-school applications); creative writing; and exposure to modern classics of pop culture.

If you are looking for a diverse and welcoming community where your child's individual potential is recognized, respected, and celebrated, we have limited space available for the current school year. Please contact our admissions office for information about current availability, or apply now.

Applications for the 2026–27 school year are available starting October 1, 2026. For priority consideration, applicants are encouraged to apply by February 2026. After that date, applications are considered on a rolling basis depending on space availability.

We invite you to schedule a meeting or campus tour with our admissions director, and to watch these comprehensive videos introducing various aspects of Westminster's program.
