Whether considering race, religion, country of origin, economic status or learning style, the Westminster School community is one of the most diverse in Northern Virginia. While Westminster’s classical curriculum includes the history of Western civilization, its mission and philosophy attract families from all parts of the world and every background. That’s because the school’s program is carefully designed to guide every student toward kindness, respect, responsibility, a strong work ethic, resiliency, confidence and joy in the possibilities of life—values that resonate with all parents. They embrace Westminster’s approach, which shows children how to think critically and respond creatively, to respect themselves and others, to try new experiences in order to discover their own talents, and to have the courage to pursue their dreams.
