Academic Rigor
Academic excellence as a habit of mind.
Students are challenged because Westminster believes in what they can become, and because high expectations are an expression of respect.
Academic Culture
Rigor is not pressure. It is clarity, practice, feedback, and belief.
Westminster’s approach connects strong teaching with student habits: preparation, attention, revision, discussion, and the courage to try again.
Clear goals. Guided practice. Useful feedback.
