Westminster Schools of Augusta

In addition to a traditional college-prep curriculum, Westminster has an excellent Dual Enrollment program that is taught on the Westminster campus by adjunct college professors, who are Westminster Teachers too! These classes are affiliated with Brewton Parker College and students can earn more than 20 college credits!

I have been in Augusta for over 20 years. In my opinion, WSA is the only truly excellent college prep Christian School in the CSRA. You can find college prep other places and you can find Christian other places. But only at WSA will you find both. WSA is not easy and your child will be stretched here, but your child will be prepared for college and for life. I have one child in college now and 2 others in the upper school. I could not be more pleased with the top shelf education and with the caring, Christian faculty here.

We have been extremely pleased with the school. Not only are the academics exceptional, but all classes are taught from a biblical perspective. Our two have attended Westminster since PreK and are now in middle & high school. So we are very confident that they will be equipped to excel in college and be equipped to handle any challenges that they may face.

Westminster is my second home. I have made amazing friends there and the teachers are super nice. I have also grown as a Christian throughout my years being there. Plus, the sports and coaches are AMAZING. I would definitely recommend sending your child to school there.

For over 19 years, our family has been actively involved in the Westminster community. All four of our children have grown up on this beautiful campus. As a parent, I have had the peace of mind that my kids were in a place where they were known, valued, and loved by their teachers, administrators, and coaches. Westminster is a place where parents share the same values of wanting an excellent education for their children in a Christian context. I have not only been grateful for the solid academic foundation my kids have received, but also for the opportunity they have had to explore their spiritual beliefs in a safe environment. No school is perfect and one of the biggest assets of Westminster in my opinion is its willingness to listen when changes need to be made and to make those adjustments when necessary. Specifically, during this year of extraordinary challenges with Covid, Westminster has navigated protocols to offer safe in-person learning every day with options for those who prefer to stay home and learn online and they have been able to maintain their high academic standard while doing so. I could not be more pleased with the outcome of my three Westminster graduates so far who are all thriving, one a graduate of Samford and two on the Dean's list at UGA maintaining their Zell Miller Scholarship status. In my opinion the sacrifice of paying for Westminster is well worth the investment not only for their academic preparedness for the next level, but for their ability to navigate their future in the way best described in a book called The 12 Rules for Life, to "stand up straight with your shoulders back".

We have been a part of the Westminster family for 14 years. Our oldest started in kindergarten and is now a sophomore in college. The study habits, writing skills, and time management skills that she learned at Westminster made the transition to college a very easy one for her. She is excelling in her studies. Our other 2 children are currently in the middle-and upper school. Westminster has navigated the COVID-19 pandemic so well that we have seen zero negative impact on our children's academic progress. As of December, Westminster has continued on-campus learning 5 days a week while taking every precaution and following all CDC guidelines to keep our children safe. We are so grateful to Westminster's dedicated faculty and staff. They not only challenge and prepare our children academically, but they truly care for them personally.

I love Westminster. I have one child who graduated WSA, and two others who are currently enrolled in the upper school. I have been so pleased with the academics, rigor, and the quality of teaching that my children have received. My daughter, who is currently at UGA, started college with a years worth of college credit which I attribute to the variety of AP, Dual Enrollment, and honors classes that were offered. My children have been loved, nurtured, and cared for within this wonderful, God-loving school community.

Westminster is a true gift to the Augusta community. We toured other private schools, but the moment our family stepped onto the Westminster campus, we knew this was the place for us. We are going into year 2 at WSA, and we absolutely made the right decision. We moved to the area in the midst of the school year, and our family was quickly embraced and loved. "Excellence" is the word we would use to describe our experience at WSA. The campus, the staff, administration, and teachers are kind, compassionate, knowledgeable, and passionate about their students, their jobs, their school, their faith, and their community. At WSA, the education is well-rounded. It was important to our family that our daughter experience the highest quality in academic standards while also focusing on honoring the Lord. This is our experience at WSA. It is evident that Westminster is setting a firm biblical foundation while emphasizing the importance of serving others and being the hands and feet of Jesus. We have also been impressed with the family atmosphere, the quality of the education, arts, and culture, the focus on safety, the solid foundation of love and faith, and the care and service to the community. Our daughter is not only learning these things at home, but these characteristics and qualities are being reinforced and taught at school. These things are priceless, especially now. We are honored to be a Wildcat family. We can't say enough great things. We highly recommend Westminster Schools of Augusta!

WSA does a great job preparing my children for college and life. I have a son who graduated and got accepted to Ivy leagues, honors colleges and decided to go to the #1 academic institution in the world. My other son has conversations with us regarding academics, spirituality, and real-life choices. The teachers invest their hearts and knowledge into all of the student body. At the end of the year, the teachers presented on each student, they truly know built good relationships with each student. As a parent, I would recommend WSA to any college-bound student.

If you're looking for a school whose commitment to a biblical worldview does not dampen its commitment to rigorous academics, or whose understanding of Christian education is not reduced to the memorization of Bible verses (as good as that is) or restricted to teachers in the Bible Department (as seasoned as they are), then Westminster is what you're looking for. Some of the best conversations I have had with my kids are those unplanned ones in the car home or while everyone's milling about the kitchen for a snack, when one of them remarks off-hand that they'd never before thought of (for example) the complexity of a single cell as a "signal of transcendence," or of the existence of Art as an argument against utilitarianism. This is the stuff they're getting from class--and not just from their Bible and Philosophy teachers! Maybe some will think of it as "indoctrination" or "brain-washing," but maybe the greatest proof that it's neither is that my kids don't feel they're being harassed or ostracized for believing (or struggling to believe) this or that idea. The academic environment of Westminster is, they say, truly safe.

We chose Westminster after moving to Augusta with the Army. We were impressed by the educational reputation of some area schools, particularly in Columbia Co. However, after a glance and comparing them all, it was clear Westminster was the right school for my kids. This school commits itself not to a grade point average, Freshman college acceptance, or other "short term goals." They take the LONG view of education in seeking to make life long learners, with a Christian worldview, in every student. The teachers are outstanding, compassionate, and as dedicated to a student's growth and maturation as they are to the material being taught. Even the arts, athletics, and club events are directed with the same ultimate focus. My oldest is now in college, and is definitely seeing the value of her education at WSA like never before.

We chose Westminster Schools of Augusta for many reasons. They have a Christian staff that loves and nurtures the children from Pre-k through 12th grade. We find great peace in knowing that our child is taught God's Word in the classroom daily and to respect God's world and the people in it. The class sizes are small giving more opportunity for a teacher to have the time to reach out to each student. The lower school is blessed to have para-pros in all classes through 5th grade. Parents at Westminster are anxious to help in all activities of the school, giving the children fun opportunities outside the classroom. Westminster offers an array of competitive athletic sports throughout the school year. The Fine Arts department at Westminster is flourishing and award winning. In addition to academics, fine arts and athletics at Westminster also emphasizes service and caring for others through numerous community service projects. Westminster is committed to providing a safe and caring learning environment enabling instructors to teach the skills necessary to excel in college and to be compassionate citizens in the community.

We truly feel that a Westminster education is a gift to our children. They are getting an excellent education that will prepare them well for the future while also being strengthened, encouraged and challenged spiritually. Westminster offers the full package...a strong education, a Christian worldview, fabulous athletic and fine arts opportunities, a family atmosphere, and extra curricular experiences. Our children recognize the value of a Westminster education, and are thankful to be able to be a part of this community. We, too, are grateful to be able to give this to them.

Westminster is a FANTASTIC school! The academics are tremendous but it is the prevailing Christian worldview that makes the school truly special. All things, whether in the classroom, on the stage, or on the playing field, are done excellently to honor the Lord. Our oldest child has graduated from Westminster and could not have been any more prepared to meet the challenges (both academic and social) of a secular college campus. We are thrilled to be a part of such a wonderful school community.

Every night when my little girl and I say our prayers, we thank God for a school like Westminister. We thank God that she learns about His Son, Jesus Christ. We are also thankul for a school that teaches her the things she needs for college. As a result,she will have a successful life academically, but more importantly spiritually.

I can not imagine a more wonderful, Godly environment to send my two children to. We selected Westminster originally for my daughter because she was entering 9th grade and her current school stopped at 8th grade. It is a perfect fit. She is involved in a little bit of everything. She loves the academic challenge she is experiencing and feels she will be well prepared for college. She was a member of the Varsity basketball team and now the Varsity tennis team. The coaches are wonderful- accepting to her level of play and encouraging for her to become a better player. My son is now in 5th grade and we decided to move him too. He is having the best year of his life. He has met more new friends, risen to the academic challenge, and able to play every sport for his Own school. I feel like our being at Westminster is an answered prayer!!!!!
