LETTER FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL Every parent hopes their child will flourish and thrive. Parents want their children to earn good grades or gain admission to an outstanding university, but they also want them to become young men and women of wisdom, character, confidence, and faith. Parents long for a place where their children will be known, loved, challenged, encouraged, and inspired to discover the unique purpose God has for their lives. That is our prayer for every student who walks through the doors of Westminster Christian School. For more than 65 years, Westminster has partnered with Christian families in this important work. As one of Florida’s leading independent Christian schools, we believe that faith and learning are inseparable. Academic excellence and spiritual formation are not competing priorities. They are both essential to the education of the whole child. Our mission is simple: We develop ambassadors for Christ through faith and learning. Every classroom, every relationship, every opportunity, and every experience is intended to help students discover their God-given gifts and prepare them to influence the world for His glory. Families often tell us that Westminster feels different. Because students from preschool through 12th grade learn together on one campus, relationships span generations and siblings share a common experience. Parents become part of a genuine community that celebrates together, prays together, and partners together. As you turn these pages, I hope you’ll discover more than an exceptional school. I hope you’ll see evidence of a community where your family will be welcomed, and your child will be deeply known. Welcome to Westminster!

WESTMINSTER CHRISTIAN SCHOOL
ABOUT US
M
ore than 65 years ago, a small group of dedicated Christians at Shenandoah Presbyterian Church sensed a calling to start a school characterized by excellence and devoted to a biblical philosophy of education. In the founding charter, they pledged to establish a school and educational program “propounding the highest of academic standards, so as to prepare covenant youth for purposeful Godliness in any vocation or entrance into leading institutions of higher education.” On September 1, 1961, Westminster Christian School opened its doors and today, thanks to the vision and dedication of school founder Mr. Jules Vroon and the leadership of many faithful men and women over the years, Westminster is the standard for Christian education in South Florida. Westminster Christian School is now situated on 35 lush acres and serves approximately 1,350 students from preschool through 12th grade. While so much has changed, Westminster Christian School’s mission remains the same: to provide an excellent education to the children of Christian families.

It is so special to us to watch our kids attend the same school that my husband and I attended. They are creating their own memories in a place that means so much to our family. What we love most is that Christ is at the center of everything, and that faith is part of our children’s experience. As parents, it means so much to know they are surrounded by teachers, coaches, and staff who genuinely care about them and are helping guide them in their walk with Christ. Our kids feel loved, supported, and at home here. Watching them grow, build friendships, and experience the same special community we did is something we are so grateful for. This school has always held such a special place in our hearts, and we feel incredibly blessed that it is now such an important part of our children’s lives too. — Shya Schettini-Lindstad ‘97 and Nils Lindstad ’97 Westminster Parents to Kai Lindstad ’32 and Kruz Lindstad ’33

iddle school is a time of extraordinary growth and change. Westminster offers an excellent learning experience that allows students to embrace their unique talents and interests during this important stage in early adolescent development. Our faculty and staff are dedicated professionals who strive to provide a challenging and engaging academic curriculum from a biblical perspective. Students are enrolled in five core academic courses (math, science, language arts, social studies and Bible) with opportunities for advanced and accelerated tracks in math and language arts. Additionally, they can select from 35 electives including fine arts, entrepreneurship, foreign language and computer science. At the beginning of the school year, eighth grade students embark on the GR8 Escape, a spiritual retreat designed to deepen their relationship with God. Over the course of three days, students engage in reflective activities, group discussions, worship, and prayer sessions to foster spiritual growth and understanding. By the end of the retreat, students emerge with renewed faith and a strengthened sense of community within their class. Students also participate in numerous field trips, including an educational tour of Washington, D.C., and trips to Zoo Miami and Sea World. Westminster’s middle school offers a wide variety of clubs and honor societies, such as student council, book club, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, National Junior Honor Society, and the reputable after-school competitive robotics team. There are also opportunities to engage in Westminster athletics, with competitive teams in more than 15 sports.
“
Westminster Christian School has been home to our family since PK4, and we can honestly say that it has been one of the greatest blessings in our lives. Watching our children grow, build lifelong friendships, and be surrounded by families who share the same values has been priceless. But what makes Westminster truly special isn’t just the academics, athletics, or activities, it’s that everything is centered on Jesus. Every lesson, every friendship, every challenge, and every victory points back to Him. We are so grateful our children are growing up in a community where faith isn’t just taught, it’s lived. Thank you, Westminster, for helping shape not only our children’s education, but also their hearts. — F ernando and Giselle Alvarez Westminster Parents to Olivia Alvarez ’30 and Sean Alvarez ’32

HIGH SCHOOL COLLEGE COUNSELING CENTER:

estminster Christian School offers a transformational high school experience that challenges students academically, strengthens their faith, and equips them to become ambassadors for Christ in an ever-changing world. Grounded in a biblical worldview, Westminster’s high school program is intentionally designed to help students discover their God-given gifts while preparing them for success in college and beyond. Through seven innovative Signature Programs, students are immersed in handson, real-world learning experiences that inspire curiosity and cultivate purpose. Whether conducting advanced medical simulations using the anatomage table, training in Westminster’s flight simulator, producing media broadcasts, arguing cases in a mock courtroom, or developing entrepreneurial ventures, students are encouraged to explore their passions in meaningful and impactful ways. Academic excellence remains at the heart of the Westminster experience. Students may choose from 29 Advanced Placement (AP) courses, a robust selection of Dual Enrollment offerings through part-
nerships with local universities, and more than 66 electives, allowing them to build a personalized academic pathway aligned with their interests and future aspirations. High-achieving students may also participate in the Emerald Scholars program, a distinction recognizing students who embrace academic rigor while demonstrating leadership, service, and a commitment to excellence. Beyond the classroom, Westminster students are provided opportunities to earn industry certifications, participate in internships and externships, and engage with an extensive network of community partners and alumni. One such example includes entrepreneur and alumnus Alex Rodriguez, whose collaboration with Westminster brings elements of his Strategic Pivoting curriculum developed at Stanford University into our Entrepreneurship Program. These experiences provide valuable mentorship, professional connections, and practical skills that prepare students to thrive in higher education and their future careers. With more than 35 clubs, organizations, service opportunities, and student leadership programs, every student is encouraged to lead boldly, serve faithfully, and make a lasting impact on their community.
A hallmark of the Westminster experience is the exceptional support provided by the College Counseling Center. Beginning in ninth grade, each student is paired with a dedicated college counselor who walks alongside them throughout all four years of high school. Our counselors take a highly personalized approach, helping students navigate course selection, standardized testing, extracurricular involvement, and the college application process, while investing deeply in understanding each student’s unique strengths, aspirations, and calling. At Westminster, college counseling is more than helping students gain admission to prestigious institutions — it is about helping them discern where God is leading them. Through intentional guidance, prayer, and individualized support, our counseling team partners with students and families to identify the colleges and universities that best align with their academic goals, personal values, and sense of purpose. The result is a college journey that is both strategic and rooted in faith.

The biomedical program at Westminster, a building block of the Emerald Scholars program, has provided me with an in-depth exposure to the medical field and confirmed my interest in medicine as a future career. The anatomage table and the labs embedded into the biomedical courses have provided me with real clinical experience, such as viewing real body placement of ligaments and organs and learning multiple sutures used in real medical scenarios. Additionally, the HOSA (Health Occupations Students of America) club has been one of my biggest passions at WCS. HOSA, a nationally recognized club, provides students with leadership and community service opportunities while competing in professional medical conferences and receiving important certifications such as CPR and First Aid. I would encourage anyone with an interest in medicine to explore this wonderful program. — Eleni Mekras ‘26

SPIRITUAL F O R M AT I O N At Westminster, we believe that God is highest, His Word is truth, and all truth ultimately finds its source in Him. Because of this conviction, we seek to weave spiritual formation throughout every aspect of the educational experience. Each year, our school community unites around a biblical theme and key passage of Scripture that shapes our weekly chapel gatherings, classroom conversations, service opportunities, and life together. Through intentional discipleship, meaningful relationships, and God’s grace, we desire to cultivate in our students a lifelong love for Christ and His truth. Our faculty are experts in their academic disciplines. They are Christian educators who recognize that every lesson provides an opportunity to contribute to the formation of the whole person. As ambassadors for Christ, they strive to integrate biblical truth and a Christian worldview throughout teaching and learning, helping students see that faith is not a separate subject but the lens through which every subject is understood. While every student’s journey is unique, our hope is that Westminster graduates leave our campus knowing Christ more deeply, thinking biblically, loving what is true, and increasingly reflecting His character as they faithfully serve Him in every area of life.

WARRIOR WEEK As part of Westminster’s commitment to lead students to become ambassadors for Jesus Christ, high school students, faculty, and staff begin every school year by attending a week-long spiritual retreat in the beautiful mountains of Jasper, Georgia. The trip is a magnificent combination of fellowship, worship, daily chapels, character-building activities, fun, and adventure. Students are provided with the opportunity to pursue a deeper relationship with Jesus, learn and grow spiritually, and develop relationships with fellow classmates and faculty in preparation for a successful academic school year.

Westminster challenged me to grow academically through teachers who believed in me, encouraged my curiosity, and helped me reach my full potential. Most importantly, Westminster strengthened my faith by surrounding me with people who continually pointed me towards Christ. They taught me that true confidence comes not from my own abilities, but from trusting God’s timing and purpose. That foundation has given me peace in times of uncertainty and the courage to embrace what comes next. — Camila Sandoval ‘26 Valedictorian VIEWBOOK

Looking back, Westminster gave me so much more than the opportunity to play volleyball and win a State championship. My coaches and teammates helped me grow not only as an athlete, but also in my faith and as a person. They taught me what it means to work hard, lead with humility, and trust God through every season. Now that I’m playing Division I volleyball at the University of Georgia, I realize how well Westminster prepared me for the next level—in the classroom, on the court, and in life. I’ll always be thankful for the people who believed in me and helped me become who I am today! Go Warriors! — Gigi Artiles ‘26 Miami-Dade County Overall Athlete of the Year ’25-‘26
