Early Education to Grade 5
Introduction
We love our little school located in the heart of the city and are proud of the many ways children shine here at Westminster! We have exceptional students who show care, empathy, and a thirst for learning. Our staff is committed to "going the extra mile" for our students; offering strong academic programs while promoting health and wellness through the arts and athletic opportunities.
It takes a village to raise a child. Our small population affords us the opportunity to develop strong relationships with families in order to support the learning needs of all of our students. Our classrooms are busy, active, Multi-age learning spaces that provide rich experiences for children. We offer enrichment activities, field trips, fine arts, daily breakfast, and strong co-curricular programs to support the development of the whole child. We have an active School Council and strong community partners who make our school an even better place for children.
