The Westminster Schools - (Atlanta GA)

5 /5 Douglas Matheson: We have boy/girl twins who started Westminster in 2nd grade and are currently seniors in the upper school. Our experience has been fantastic all the way around - socially, academically, and athletically. The rigor of the college prep curriculum is real, although this is the reason we chose the school for our kids so that they would be challenged. As a parent, what I really like about the school is that it isnt considered "cool" to slack off on your studies. It is quite the opposite which serves as a motivator for both of our kids as they have embraced the process and I feel like they are fully ready for the independence of college. The school, the teachers and the coaches all operate in unison with the mission to lead, love, and challenge. The opportunities are endless for the student that embraces learning anything and everything. At the same time, the structure, discipline and guidance is equally valuable for the student who views school as a necessary path toward a future doing something they love for a career after college. The campus and facilities are that of a small, private university and the support from alumni is unmatched. Socially, both our kids found their friend groups and I fully expect them to all be life long friends who all attend different colleges throughout the US. Athletically, both kids had the chance participate in multiple sports through middle and upper school - baseball, football, golf (son), lacrosse, basketball (daughter) and each chose to pursue a single sport by there junior year. The newly hired Athletic Director is elite at her job and the coaching staff for all of our kids sports have been incredibly good while also being supportive with academics being the #1 priority. All this while also being ranked as the #1 High School Athletic Program in the US (2022-23 school year). Reflecting on the past 11 years with both a boy and a girl attending Westminster, I honestly wouldnt change a thing about our experience.

5 /5 Steven Thompson: All I can say is WOW!!! This school is amazing. I have three children enrolled in The Westminster Schools and can not be ANY happier. The Faculty (Everyone from Top to Bottom is amazing) is Top notch. The academics are challenging and invite the "love of learning" My three children are different from each other and they all fit in equally well at the school. The Teachers are involved and care, I get calls from the Teacher(s) just to tell me how well my children are doing. The athletics are REALLY number 1 in the nation (check out MAX Preps for the 2012 year, 11 State Titles a new record!). This school and all involved are great. If you are considering private school(s) you need to do yourself a favor and check out all of them and visit Westminster last and you will see/know/feel why it is THE BEST bar none Private School in Atlanta. If you are serious about your children(s) education and are considering private school forget about anything you hear or have heard and judge for yourself; go to a few games and you will understand why The Westminster Schools has the wonderful reputation locally/nationwide that it has earned over the past 60+ years of cultivating Leaders for Tomorrow.

5 /5 Amy t: Our daughter is in middle school this year at Westminster. The entire experience for her, thus far, has been absolutely wonderful. She is actually excited to go to school every day. Yes, there are great learning opportunities (like many schools in Atlanta) but here children are encouraged to think outside of the box, ask questions and expand their perspectives regarding the world. Most importantly to me, I see time and time again, the adults at this school not only display academic intelligence but a REAL emotional intelligence towards the children. In the end, my highest priority for my daughter is that she is in a supportive and nurturing learning environment where she is encouraged to grow and thrive. We have found this and more at Westminster.

5 /5 Elizabeth Ashley Finsthwait: This is a home to me. I lived here when I was a very young child, my father taught year for 49 years, and a large number of people tell me how much I love my dad. That really needs a great deal to me. . You know I love this the school & faculty. The most academically educational experience I ever had. My father taught English and history and he has been here for 49 years. I love her , Westminster, and Ill always have fond memories from my experiences at the school. Dad loves his students and they have loved him, I appreciate when they come up to me and remind me.

5 /5 Carol Fagg: Excellent education!! Best teachers!! Must be willing to study a lot!!
