Summer School
Enjoy a Summer of Learning at Westminster
Westminster engages bright, curious, motivated students who are nurtured by challenge. Summer School gives these students the ability to design their learning path by offering academic courses that complement their educational experience during the school year. Students enjoy a personalized learning environment with outstanding faculty. Summer School courses, unless otherwise indicated, are open to Westminster and non-Westminster students who seek to extend their learning beyond the school year. Please feel free to reach out to us with questions.
Summer School for Middle School
Westminster's Summer School courses for Middle School students support rising sixth, seventh, and eighth grade students to strengthen their reading, writing, math, and computer skills and to transition smoothly into middle school, both academically and socially.
Important attendance information: Students who are required to attend Summer School as a condition of admission to Westminster may only miss class due to illness or family emergency.
