"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.”
The boys traveled to the northwest corner for the second time this week, and despite a battle, could not pull out the win. The martlets were down a few players due to injury and illness and The doubles point went fairly quicklly. Crosby Cutler ‘27 and Xavier Kahn ‘27, playing at #1 Doubles for the first time in their young careers, performed very well in a competitive 8-3 loss. Cole Hadden ‘26 and Connor gray ‘26, and Caden Cramer ‘27 and Rohan Satpathy ‘27 both had some good points throughout their matches, but came out on the losing end. Given the format of the doubles point, we went into singles down by a point. Daniel Frid ‘27 and Caden Cramer ‘27 both fought hard but fell to strong opponents at #3 and #5 singles respectively. Connor Gray ‘26 picked up his first win of the season with a nice 8-2 win at #6 singles. Steven Chun ‘25 at #1 singles went up quick 7-1. After a brief comeback by his opponent, he closed out a fairly straightforward 8-4 win. This put Salisbury up 3-2, with the two matches of the day left on court. At #2 singles, Crosby Cutler ‘27 was 3-6 down in a pro-set format, before chipping away at his opponent and fighting back to level the score. Meanwhile, Xavier Kahn ‘27 went down 0-4 at #4 singles. While he lost those games, these four games were very competitive and set him up for a very competitive match. He got back into the match, including winning some very long games, and got himself back in the match. While he ultimately lost the match 6-8 to seal the victory for the hosts, he played a great match in his first singles match for the team. Meanwhile, Crosby went ahead 7-6, before his opponent got the momentum back to level it at 7-7 and force the tiebreaker. Crosby played a very solid tiebreak, and closed it out 7-5. While we might not have known that the 4-3 outcome was going to happen after doubles, the Martlets played another very competitive match that was lost by just a couple of points. We are back on the road next Wednesday when we travel to Taft.
