From the Admissions Office

Yes! We are still accepting applications!

Thank you so much for visiting our website and for your interest in Westminster Academy!  We want you to find the best school-home for your family. We believe that Westminster Academy offers a unique curriculum and a close-knit community, unlike any other found in the Memphis area. Our admission process is designed to help you make the best choice for your child.

You have come to the right place! Though we have made the difficult, but important, decision to transition classroom learning, school activities, and new student admissions to virtual events, there are many resources available here on our website.

Our admission office remains open to receive applications and to walk you through any questions that you may have about our admission process. We realize these are unprecedented times. Know that we are committed to providing you whatever you may need as you explore Westminster Academy as an option for investing in your child’s future.

In order to pursue the online application process, take a look around our website and please reach out to Elizabeth Perkins or Liz Kinney with any questions. Our application is available online. After you have completed the application, a member of our staff will reach out to give you further instruction for how the remainder of the process will proceed. We will schedule one-on-one testing and school visits for a time when the Safer-at-Home order has been lifted by the city of Memphis.

We hope that you stay well and safe. We look forward to meeting face-to-face in the near future!

“But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” Isaiah 40:31

Although nothing replaces an on-campus visit, we've collected a few videos that may give you a glimpse of life at Westminster!
