​​Dear WA Community, At Westminster Academy, we often speak about our commitment to excellence and the strength of our community—and recently, we were reminded that this reputation extends far beyond our own campus and even our country.

These visits were the result of referrals from national Christian education leaders who previously spent time with our faculty and recognized the unique culture and excellence at WA.

Each stop brought Florida’s history to life, allowing students to connect classroom lessons with real-world experiences. We are so grateful to our teachers, staff, and chaperones who helped make this trip possible. It...
