Westminster School

School Overview:

School Notes:

• Westminster School enjoys a reputation as one of the finest college-preparatory schools, and certainly one of the very top small boarding schools, in the country. The challenging academic program prepares students for academic success and the rigors of college while cultivating in them a love of learning that becomes a lifelong habit. We are a diverse, close-knit community of 76 faculty and 392 students from across the country and around the world. Over 30% of our students receive financial aid from the $3.5 million awarded annually. Through a highly selective admission process, Westminster seeks to enroll young men and women who are motivated, hard-working students who have accomplished much already and who hold the promise of achieving so much more in a challenging, caring academic community.
