"Westminster School seeks curious and engaged students who want to grow and learn in a challenging and supportive environment. Students who are motivated to become their best selves both in and out of the classroom, taking advantage of the myriad of opportunities Westminster has to offer."
“At Westminster, we aspire to an extraordinarily ambitious commitment to secondary education, a commitment to nurture the participation of our diverse school community across our entire program — from academics, to studios and labs, gyms, fields and rink, and service to our Hartford community partners. Westminster students are inspired by opportunities to make a difference in all their endeavors.”
"Through gritty trial and error, Westminster students grow into independent learners who are curious, critical thinkers. With the support of faculty, students gain the skills to understand the world around them and enrich their communities at school and beyond."
"The visual and performing arts program at Westminster weaves the community together and nurtures the spirit of the Westminster campus. The arts at Westminster inspire students of all levels of experience from the very beginner to the advanced artist to practice the freedom of creative self-expression. Professional teachers guide students to work through the creative process from inception to the presentation, building a lifelong respect and appreciation for the arts."
Kerry Kendall Head of Visual and Performing Arts Department
"Athletic success at Westminster is measured not only by wins and losses, but through the bonds created between teammates and coaches, individual and team improvement, and personal growth. When students learn how to be competitors and how to cooperate with one another, they are better prepared to be citizens of the global world."
“Driven by a desire to serve young people and conscious of the opportunities for private schools to support a public purpose, Westminster School’s mission statement concludes with the call ‘to commit to a life of service beyond self.’ Westminster’s Hartford Partnership programs aim to deliver on that mission while making a direct impact on people and programs in Hartford.”
Patrick Owens Executive Director, Horizons at Westminster & Hartford Partnerships
“Involvement will be the key to your success at Westminster School. Get involved with the arts, try a sport you've never played, start your own club, run for student council. You will get out of this experience exactly what you put into it. Do these things early in your life — keep seeking more opportunities for growth.”
“Support for Westminster School provides a way to remember the past, shape the present and steward the future of the school.”

Martlets Suffer First Two Losses of the Year
For the second time this week, the Martlets played two matches in a day, as they and the Tigers of Sacred Heart both traveled to Deerfield. The girls played hard, but got no traction against a very strong Deerfield squad, losing all of their matches at 3-0. There were a couple of bright spots, however. At #3, Marti Jaramillo ‘27 defended valiantly and kept the first two games close before running out of gas (8, 7, 4). At #8, Meiyin Ren ‘25 came even closer to taking a game on the strength of her best squash of the season, but she ultimately couldn’t muster enough winners. Against Sacred Heart, different players found a modicum of success. Co-captain Emily Fonner ‘26 (#4) and Natasha Johnson ‘27 (#6) each managed to take a game to 11-8, and co-captain Elle Wilson ‘26 (#2) figured a few things out and executed well enough to take her final game to 11-7. The highlight of the day was produced by #1 Sophia Lazor ‘27. She appeared to be headed to a decisive defeat like the rest of the team after dropping the first two games at 4 and 5, but she gritted out an 11-9 win in the third game to open up the door for a comeback. In the last two games, she executed brilliantly, flummoxing her opponent with a mix of tenacious defense, patience, and opportunistic shotmaking, finishing off the match 11-4 and 11-7. The Martlets will face another tough opponent on Wednesday when they visit the Wild Boars of Choate.
