Westminster Christian School

What Westminster Christian School does

Westminster Christian School is a private, non-profit 501(c)(3) Christian day school located in Palmetto Bay, Florida, founded in 1961. The school provides college-preparatory education from preschool through twelfth grade, integrating Christian faith formation with academic, athletic, and fine arts programming across a single campus. Notable facilities include a 637-seat performing arts center (The Lighthouse), a fine arts facility (The Beacon), the WorldWonder Nature Center, and the Wild Acre nature preserve. The school differentiates on technology integration — it has held Microsoft Showcase School designation for nine consecutive years (the most in the country) and operates one of only two South Florida science research rooms equipped with an Anatomage Table.

The school's core technology infrastructure centers on Microsoft Office certifications (Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Outlook) delivered through a BusinessU-aligned curriculum, supplemented by tools such as MathXL, Canva, Adobe Premiere, Photoshop, and VEX IQ for robotics and coding. Westminster also operates Westbridge Academy, an affiliated institution serving students with learning differences, and launched Westminster Online in 2026 to deliver asynchronous, self-paced remote courses in programming, world languages, and humanities.

Westminster's revenue model is tuition-driven, with families paying recurring fees for preschool-through-grade-12 enrollment. Supplemental revenue comes from summer programs (year-long courses at $1,800, semester courses at $900, specialty camps at $175–$405 per week), the Warrior Fund annual philanthropy (with giving tiers ranging from "Friend" up to $50,000), and alumni giving. Distribution is direct on-campus enrollment plus the newly launched Westminster Online channel. The go-to-market motion is sales-led through traditional admissions, preview days, and community events such as the Taste of Westminster (nearly 500 attendees) and the Warrior Family Fair.
