Our Mission
Westminster Academy is a Christ-centered, biblically-based college preparatory school dedicated to equipping covenant students to excel by using their gifts and talents for God’s glory.
What do others say?
The Biblical worldview taught at WA, and the priority placed on studying and memorizing the infallible Word of God has been instrumental in my writing and teaching.
Jeannie Callahan ’93 Cunnion, Alumna, Author, and Speaker
The seeds that were planted in my journey through WA have
born fruit through the worldwide ministry of OneHope.
Pastor Rob Hoskins ’83, President of OneHope, 2017 Distinguished Alumnus
I am proud to say I teach in the high school and there is no place I would rather be. Westminster Academy provides the best Christian education in South Florida. The academic standards and expectations are high and our students rise to achieve these standards.
Michelle Perry, WA Upper School Faculty
Through classes at WA, I managed to gain many college credits that I used to jump-start my college education and allowed me to have the time and freedom to pursue a dual degree in Spanish and Biology. The quality of the classes at WA also prepared me for college courses, from the arts to the sciences.
Hannah Harms ’16, Second Generation WA Lion
I was able to receive a high-quality Christian education that has shaped me as a person and provided me boundless opportunities. I am forever grateful to Westminster Academy.
John Novoa ’02, Financial Associate with Thrivent Financial
Westminster Academy helped train my children to be Christ-centered leaders and today they are. It has proven to be the best investment I could have made in the future of my children. Thank you, WA!
Dr. Bob Barnes, CEO of Sheridan House Family Ministries
