The admissions process at Westminster is more than forms, test scores, and an interview. It’s about getting to know our prospective middle and high school students and their families. To learn more about Westminster and to connect with one of our admissions associates, please fill out the form below or call 314.997.2900.

See Westminster in Action

We encourage you to schedule a family visit to our beautiful campus, where you can engage with our community and see firsthand what makes Westminster so special. Following a family visit, we offer student visits designed to give a personal experience of life as a Wildcat.

Family Visits

At Westminster, we want to serve the whole family. With this in-person visit, parents and students will experience our distinctly Christian education focused on college preparedness, community, and Christ.

Schedule a Tour

Submit an Online Application

Please complete the parent portion of our online application. Your student will need to complete the appropriate section in his/her own words. You may pay the $50 application fee ($100 application fee for international students) online or by a check mailed to Westminster within one week of submitting your application.

Family Interview

An essential requirement for admission is that one or both parents are Christian, as evidenced by a verbal confession of faith in Christ as Savior. A member of our Board of Directors will conduct a family interview to verify a Christian testimony from one or both parents and confirm agreement with the school’s statement of faith.

Once your application is completed and all necessary paperwork submitted, a member of our admissions team will contact you to schedule an interview.

Entrance Exam

An entrance exam is one of the data points considered when forming a complete picture of a Westminster applicant. While we will accept the SSAT (Secondary Schools Admissions Test), we prefer the ISEE (Independent School Entrance Exam). Register online for the ISEE test dates offered on Westminster’s campus.

Necessary Paperwork

Academic Records

Submit a transcript request form authorizing your student’s current school to send an official transcript to Westminster. If the student has been homeschooled, a form will be emailed from the Admissions Office to record the courses studied.

Teacher Recommendations

We require two teacher recommendations—one from the current English teacher and one from the current math teacher. The electronic form is emailed to the teacher directly from the online application.

Pastor Letter of Reference

The application process includes a form that must be completed by a pastor or leader in your church. The electronic form is emailed to the pastor directly from the online application.

Consent to the Christian Faith Commitment

At least one parent must be in agreement with the statement of faith in the Westminster Christian Academy Bylaws and give consent to the Christian Faith Commitment. All future students and parents are participants in the life of the Westminster Christian Academy community and are expected in the course of this participation in our school to respect our beliefs, support our mission, and comply with applicable community standards.

Become a Wildcat

Once you’ve received your admission notification, the next step is to enroll. Families of 9th grade students will need to respond to their offer of admission by February 13, 2026. All other grades will need to respond by March 23, 2026.

Notification Dates

Families will be notified of the Admission Committee’s decision on January 30, 2026, for 9th grade applicants and March 6, 2026, for all other applicants.

Priority for Admission

1. Siblings of current students
2. Other qualified applicants at the discretion of the Board of Directors and Admissions Committee 

Should a class reach its maximum capacity, the students that meet the criteria for admission will be placed in a wait pool. If a space becomes available, students will be admitted based on the priority for admission and best placement.
