Westminster School is hosting a “First Look” admissions program May 17 at 7 p.m. for families interested in fall 2013 enrollment. The campus is located at 995 Hopmeadow St., Simsbury.
During this informal program, prospective students and their parents will tour the school’s new 85,000-square-foot academic center, meet teachers and students, and explore academic and extracurricular programs. The school is known for its small class sizes, strong sense of community, easy student access to teachers for one-on-one interaction, culture of caring and array of student leadership opportunities.
Westminster is a diverse community of 390 students, two-thirds boarding and one-third day, who represent 47 Connecticut towns and cities, 26 states and 23 countries.
