What do others say?

  • The seeds that were planted in my journey through WA have
    born fruit through the worldwide ministry of OneHope.

    Pastor Rob Hoskins ’83, President of OneHope, 2017 Distinguished Alumnus

  • Through classes at WA, I managed to gain many college credits that I used to jump-start my college education and allowed me to have the time and freedom to pursue a dual degree in Spanish and Biology. The quality of the classes at WA also prepared me for college courses, from the arts to the sciences.

    Hannah Harms ’16, Second Generation WA Lion

  • The Biblical worldview taught at WA, and the priority placed on studying and memorizing the infallible Word of God has been instrumental in my writing and teaching.

    Jeannie Callahan ’93 Cunnion, Alumna, Author, and Speaker

  • I am proud to say I teach in the high school and there is no place I would rather be. Westminster Academy provides the best Christian education in South Florida. The academic standards and expectations are high and our students rise to achieve these standards.

    Michelle Perry, WA Upper School Faculty

  • Westminster Academy helped train my children to be Christ-centered leaders and today they are. It has proven to be the best investment I could have made in the future of my children. Thank you, WA!

This week, we celebrate the incredible teachers who make Westminster Academy such a special place! From our nurturing preschool staff to our high school mentors, their dedication and passion inspire young minds and hearts in our community. Here's why we're SO grateful for our teachers: * They share the Gospel through both their word and witness. * They believe that faith and intellect are gifts from God—our Creator and Redeemer and seek to develop each student's unique gifts and talents. * They foster a love of learning that goes beyond textbooks. * They nurture faith and Christian values in every student. * They build strong relationships and become champions for each child. * They go above and beyond to create a positive and supportive environment. Show your appreciation! * Tag your favorite teacher and tell them why they're amazing! * Share a story about how a teacher impacted your life (or your child's life!) * Let's shower our teachers with love and appreciation all week long!
