Arts

From pre-first through twelfth grade, the visual and performing arts at Westminster are woven into the fabric of daily life, with robust opportunities in every grade. We see the arts as a language of expression, and our approach is designed to help students observe and interpret their world and develop new tools to reflect and voice their experiences. We value artistry and train toward technical skills, discipline by discipline, even as we remain focused that our central goal throughout is building a creative mindset. Through our process, students gain cultural literacy, confidence, flexibility of mind, and fundamental skills of self-expression.

The School offers a full range of experiences to encourage actors, artists, dancers, and musicians to discover their talent in performing arts, communication and oratorical arts, and visual arts.

We hope you and your family will enjoy our free arts events. There are more than 50 exhibits, plays, concerts, and interactive experiences every year to choose from!

Handel’s Messiah first appeared at Westminster in 1957 with the singing of the “Hallelujah” chorus. Since 1985, an annual performance of the Christmas portion of Messiah has been a school tradition. Without a doubt, it’s a team effort.

Parents, alumni, and faculty are invited to join our chorus and orchestra, making Messiah a cherished Christmas celebration for many Wildcat families.
