Westminster School
Westminster School is a private boarding school for boys aged 13 to 18. Nestled next to Westminster Abbey and the Houses of Parliament in central London, this school has shaped young minds for nearly 630 years. Notably, it boasts an impressive alum list, including architect Christopher Wren, writer AA Milne, and Nobel Prize winners.
Approximately 180 boys and girls board at Westminster, residing in six boarding houses. These students receive care from a housemaster, resident matron, and a team of tutors. There's also a head of international students to support those coming from overseas. Boarders engage in structured prep every evening and have various opportunities for fun and relaxation. Activities range from Sunday brunch, pizza, and film nights to karaoke, group sports, and city trips.
Westminster students consistently achieve outstanding exam results, securing spots at prestigious universities like Oxford, Cambridge, Stanford, Columbia, UPenn, and Dartmouth. The school prioritizes safeguarding and pastoral care, ensuring each child is guided by a dedicated team, including housemasters, tutors, matrons, school counselors, a School Nursing Sister, and a Chaplain. Everyone is welcome, valued, and nurtured in this supportive environment.
Westminster encourages various hobbies and interests outside the classroom through an exciting extra- and co-curricular program. Two afternoons each week are dedicated to sports, with cricket, football, netball, and rowing taking the spotlight. The school shines in music and theatre, prompting pupils to take music lessons and join orchestras, choirs, and theatre projects. Whether it's debating, Model United Nations (MUN) clubs, inter-school general knowledge competitions, inter-house chess competitions, or casual pool games in the standard room, there are options available for every pupil at any time.
