About

“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.”

Elaine White

Head of School

Arts

"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

Athletics

"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."

Tim Joncas '00
Director of Athletics

Hartford Partnerships

“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.”

Executive Director, Horizons at Westminster
& Hartford Partnerships

Student Life

“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.”

A Hub of Activity

Brockelman Student Center and Grill opened in January 2018. The student center is located in the heart of the campus in Cushing Hall. The center has foosball, billiards, air hockey, two wall-mounted televisions (one can be used for gaming) and a lounge area that is often a hub of activity after school and on the weekends. It offers a state-of-the-art Sonos sound system. The center seats around 60 on everything from couches to tables and chairs and pouffe seats.

Students can sit near the gas fireplace or at one of the high tables that also have charging stations. The light fixtures are custom made and the raised-wood oak paneling is floor to ceiling. Despite the up-to-date additions, the design is in keeping with turn of the century architecture of the rest of the building.

Students can also satisfy cravings at the Brockelman Grill located in the student center. The Grill offers snack items like coffee, fresh fruit, yogurt, smoothies, bagel breakfast sandwiches (made with local favorite Brookside Bagels) and chicken wings. The Brockelman Student Center is open unless it is being cleaned. Grill hours are Monday through Friday: 9 to 11 a.m. and 7 to 10 p.m.; Saturday: 7 to 11 p.m. and Sunday: 2 to 5 p.m. Purchases may be made using a debit or credit card and with their MyKidsSpending account on their student ID.
