Experience Westminster
We hope you will visit our campus and meet some of our faculty, students, and parents. We think you’ll discover that we are a distinctly Christian school full of world-class opportunities.
Academics
Be Challenged & Inspired
Westminster faculty encourage students to wrestle with complex ideas and make connections across disciplines while incorporating a biblical worldview into our college preparatory program.
Arts
Create Alongside Your Creator
We were created to create. Students experience the wonder and beauty of God’s creation as they explore the performing and visual arts at Westminster. The opportunities to reach and inspire others through art are endless.
Athletics
Pursue Excellence
Our top priority is to help student-athletes strengthen their relationship with Jesus Christ. As part of the Westminster athletic program, students grow in Christian character, develop a strong work ethic, and most importantly, learn how to honor Christ on and off the field.

Students Shine in UMSL STARS Program

This summer, two Westminster Christian Academy students graduated from the 2018 Students and Teachers as Research Scientists (STARS) program at the University of Missouri-St. Louis. Jerry Liu and Lauren Bell spent their summer working alongside some of St. Louis’ top research scientists as part of the Students and Teachers as Research Scientists program.

Jerry’s apprenticeship with Dr. Elizabeth Kellogg at the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center resulted in his publishing an award-winning research paper, “Identifying the genotype of auxin importer gene mutants of Setaria viridi.”

All papers were reviewed by a panel of judges from Monsanto, Confluence Life Science, SIU-Edwardsville, and UMSL. Each paper was evaluated for quality based on industry standards to determine the worthiness of formal publication.
