Classical Education

Westminster’s systematic, age-related program ensures that students master the tools and skills of learning which will see them through a lifetime of academic success, help them discover and develop their talents, and nurture the confidence to pursue their dreams and become leaders wherever they go.

A Collaborative Community for Growth

Administrators, teachers, and parents work together to help each student grow into his/her best possible self.

A Highly Diverse and Welcoming Community

Our exceptionally diverse community provides a warm welcome to all families. Children grow up looking past differences in race, religion, or place of origin, experiencing each other simply as individuals with distinct personalities and ways of contributing to the community.

Arts are the Heartbeat

Participation in the arts helps our students develop creativity all areas of endeavor, giving them an edge in today’s competitive world. Creativity is also the doorway to self-expression, self-confidence, and joy. It’s a win-win approach!
