Westminster School

Westminster has provided my children with a great education and has helped prepare them for high school and even college. They learned many wonderful lessons that truly help them in every day life as well. I am so thankful for finding this school and I know my children are as well.

Westminster School has blessed our daughter in SO many ways! Words simply cannot express our appreciation for the unbelievable dedication and love the teachers, staff, the Headmaster, and quite frankly, the parents, have for all the children in the school. Our only regret is not finding Westminster sooner. We are forever grateful.

It is pretty amazing that I am a freshman in college and I still hold this school very dear to my heart. Westminster School has enriched my life in ways that one cannot imagine when simply seeking a middle school for their child. The teachers I had the pleasure to be taught by and the pleasure to work with are compassionate, intelligent, unselfish, and extremely capable. All members of the faculty are happy, loving, and nurturing. The environment of this school is welcoming and promotes a positive atmosphere for learning. The education I received there stays with me today for we covered topics so diverse and enriching that they have still remain relevant to my life. The relationships and bonds formed at Westminster are unrivaled and the memories I have are irreplaceable. If you want your child to receive a top notch education consider this school, however it is not just an education they will receive, it is an enrichment in character and family. I am so grateful to have and to have had this school in my life.

I am a former student of Westminster, and I have to admit it wasn't horrible. However my experience there was not very pleasant. I liked that the school was clean, and I appreciated the discipline, but after I left that school I was very unprepared for my next school. I didn't know how to use powerpoint, and I could barely type all that well since we had just started typing lessons. At my new school instead of giving out detentions, the people turn in their assignments, b/c they realize that their grades will be hurt if they don't.

In 10+ years, I have never once regretted the decision to send my children to Westminster School. Every morning I drop them off at school and know that they will be safe, well cared for, and will be taught and guided by caring, dedicated, and qualified professionals. My children are thriving at Westminster. Above all, they are happy! I couldn't ask for more!

Westminster School is a beacon of light, in my opinion, and I thank everyone there involved with my children's education -- staff, administration, fellow parents, and fellow students. If you are looking for strong academics, a caring community, and a place that reiterates your own strong values and morals, this is the school for your family. And I say family. It's a commitment for the entire family. But one that comes with great reward. To see your child standing on that stage at graduation is a feeling like no other. You know that you have given him the best chance at becoming the person that he was meant to be.

My children are thoroughly enjoying their experience at Westminster School. They look forward to going to school, and enjoy participating in the many special events the Headmaster and/or Parents' Club sponsor for the children. Westminster has become an extension of our family and is often thought of as our second home. The teachers, staff, and administration have always treated us with kindness and respect. My children's lives and futures would not be so bright if it were not for Westminster.

This is an unusual school that upholds high standards of conduct and academic excellence. It is lead by a strong leader, the headmaster, who is dedicated to the students beyond any other private school we visited when considering schools for our child. Our experience has been beyond what we hoped for. Our child is being challenged academically, but mostly, it is his excitement about school and his teachers that has pleased us the most. He has a graduate of the school for a teacher. I personally think that this is a testament to the program. She is enthusiastic and dedicated. We couldn't be happier with our decision.

This is a lovely facility with some very dedicated staff but the school is primarily focused on theater and not on educational basics. The Head of School is a frustrated thespian, singer, dancer who is out of touch with the makings of a balanced education. He is not an educator and lacks any business sense. The school's budget and staffing in performance art is excessive and leaves the balance of the school curriculum underfunded and poorly staffed. This year a third of the professional teaching staff either left or was dismissed. In general the departing staff were replaced by inexperienced newly graduated teachers. Preference was given to Westminster alumni. It remains to be seen how well this cost cutting effort will work out. It has however instilled or should I say heightened the atmosphere of fear and distrust that has permeated the faculty and staff for many, many years. So, if you are seriously considering Westminster school, meet the Head of School and get him talking, you will quickly realize that it is not a place you want to send your children. I only wish someone had given me this advice.

As a student who went there 2 years before i saw a change from how it is at a normal school and this school. i recivedsome education and at the same time.... i lost hope i just felt like none of the teachers there belived in me. one day i missed my ride and i heard some of them talking about me and i sat there unnoticed for about 10 minutes and some of the things they said about me were awful and hurtful. i may have been one of the most unlikley students that was there but the things they said were uncalled for and rude.
