Westminster School enjoys a reputation as one of the finest college-preparatory schools, and certainly one of the very top small boarding schools, in the country. The challenging academic program, grounded in the liberal arts tradition, prepares students in grades 9-12 and postgraduate for academic success and the rigors of college while cultivating in them a love of learning that becomes a lifelong habit.Westminster School is a diverse, close-knit community of 89 faculty and 385 students (two-thirds boarding, one-third day students) from across the country and around the world. Nearly one third of the students receive financial aid from the more than $3.2 million awarded each year.
