Preschool / Elementary
Our Approach
Westminster recognizes that each child has a unique and individual pattern of growth and learning. We offer a safe and nurturing environment that promotes the intellectual, spiritual, social, physical and emotional development of every student. We utilize nationally-recognized resources and abide by rigorous standards to provide all children with excellent learning opportunities.
Our Curriculum
We combine a strong academic foundation with a biblical worldview. Students participate in art, music and physical education classes, and have the opportunity to select electives in technology and Spanish. Westminster’s STEM program is a project-based curriculum in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Fourth and fifth grade students may also apply for the VEX IQ competitive robotics teams.
In addition, Westminster’s preschool and elementary school boasts the WorldWonder program, a hands-on learning experience that promotes the exploration of God’s creation with on-campus field trips to the Nature Center and Wild Acre. Westminster also offers numerous after-school clubs including cheerleading, ballet, drum roll and chapel praise team, as well as an elementary sports program to help students develop their God-given gifts.
