There is nothing more important in this life than knowing God and having His Son formed in us. We are thankful that our children can experience a challenging education at Westminster, but even more importantly that they are encouraged to grow "in the knowledge of God" and the likeness of Christ.
- Upper School Parents
For families who are interested in learning more about Westminster, an Open House is offered each winter, and campus tours are available at any time with a prior appointment. Prospective students who want to experience a typical day at Westminster are invited to attend regular classes; a current student can serve as a peer host. Please contact the Admissions Office to schedule your visit.
The admissions process begins with submission of the following: a formal application with fees, all previous school records, and references from current teachers and the family's pastor. Additionally, members of the administration will interview the family personally. This process as a whole helps ensure mutual compatibility between the applicant and the school.
Thank you for considering Westminster Christian Academy. We hope we can assist you in making this important decision concerning your child's future.
Admission to Westminster is primarily based on two criteria:
- Both parents are Christians and are actively involved in an evangelical church.
- The child is performing academically on or above grade level and has evidence of good conduct and attitude.
Parents should be aware that the admissions process could take up to a month to complete. We do not advise withdrawing students from their current school until the process is complete. In general, new family applications are processed beginning on February 1. In the instance that a grade could be expanded to accommodate another class of students, this beginning date could be advanced to as early as January 1. Interested parents are encouraged to contact the school regarding application dates.
The admissions process for each class will continue until the class is full. At that time, applicants will be placed on a waiting list.
