For decades, the arts have been a core component at Westminster, woven into the fabric of daily life, resulting in self-discovery, confidence-building and life-long enrichment. The arts serve as an avenue for “right-brain, outside-the-box” thinking, as well as the development of the human spirit.
Westminster offers weekly classes in music and art for all grades (twice-weekly in K-2), with orchestra as an option for grades 3-8. Every student performs in a drama production each year, culminating in a 7th-grade Shakespeare play and an 8th-grade Broadway musical. Talent shows, dance classes, choral performances, and art and poetry contests are central to school life. Academic projects always include a creative component, and field trips to area museums and theaters enhance students’ passion for all areas of the arts.
