The admissions process at Westminster is more than forms, test scores, and an interview. It’s about getting to know our prospective students and their families. To learn more about Westminster and to connect with one of our admissions associates, please email us or call 314.997.2900.

See Westminster in Action

We encourage you to schedule an in-person family visit and then a student visit. See below for more information about the visit opportunities that we offer.

Visit Opportunities

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.

Submit an Online Application

Please complete the parent portion of our online application through one of the links below. 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.

Westminster Christian Academy, Attn: Admissions
800 Maryville Centre Drive, Town & Country, MO 63017

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.
