Principal’s Message

School_Pic

Welcome to Westminster School, a community school where education is a human enterprise and an academic enrichment. At our school both staff and students establish close relationships that last a lifetime. Helping students to become aware of their personal best, we also recognize that students are individual in their rate of learning and growth.  

Student growth is fostered by Westminster’s International Baccalaureate (IB) Program. This developmental program challenges students to provide services that benefit all humanity and to develop a joy of learning that will make them life long learners.

The heart of our school lies in the joy of learning, the passion to create, and the commitment to community.
