Westminster School

Simsbury, Connecticut | Grades 9-12, PG, Co-ed | Founded in 1888

Description

As a private, co-educational boarding and day, college-preparatory school for students in grades 9-12 and postgraduates, Westminster School surrounds young people with smart, accomplished and resourceful adults who instill in their students the desire to pursue excellence in everything they do. Students learn to balance grit and grace and are able to expand their opportunities for successful and fulfilling lives.

English, mathematics, language, history, science, and the visual and performing arts have specific requirements for graduation. In choosing advanced courses beyond the required graduation level, it is advantageous to pursue a subject to the highest level possible. A student should attempt, therefore, to extend the study of mathematics through the Sixth Form and to establish the best background in language, history, science, and creative arts as talent and interest permit. Students should ascertain any special requirements of colleges and college programs of their choice.
