Enrollment Application for Westminster Academy

Westminster Academy is a Christ-centered, biblically-based college preparatory school dedicated to equipping covenant students to excel by using their gifts and talents for God’s glory.

The previous line is our mission statement. This is not something that is engraved on a few plaques and then tucked away. It embodies the heartbeat of Westminster Academy. It is the same heartbeat that Westminster Academy has had for five decades. It drives us—all of us—faculty, staff, coaches, and students, to pursue Christian scholarship with a goal of making an impact on God’s Kingdom. 

This common mission causes Westminster Academy to become more than a school—it becomes a community. It is within this community that lessons are learned, life is lived, friendships are forged, and worldviews are formed. This all comes together to create a unique experience not found anywhere else—the Westminster Academy experience.

Families seeking admission to Westminster Academy must: 

• by at least one parent, demonstrate a personal trust in Jesus Christ for salvation and a commitment to Christian education
• participate in an admissions interview 
• be active in a local historic orthodox Christian church 
• parent(s) or guardian(s) have legal custody of the child(ren) and they must reside in the household for the majority of the time. 
• have at least one parent or guardian residing in the household. If two are residing in the household, they must be a legally married man and woman. 

As an educational ministry of Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church, Westminster Academy provides instruction to children and youth from within a biblical framework as interpreted through the historic, orthodox creeds and doctrines of the Church. In particular, it views God, life, and scripture through that form of biblical interpretation presented by the Westminster Confession of Faith and the Larger and Shorter Catechisms and the Westminster Academy Statement of Faith.

A family must believe, agree with, and support the following:

• God is a Triune God—the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
• The Bible is God’s infallible and authoritative Word to man. It is the only standard by which faith and practice are to be measured.
• The chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.
• Man is created in the image of God. Through his relationship to Adam, man is a sinner by nature and does himself practice sin. He is alienated from God, his neighbor, and the world. Every person is a sinner.
• Jesus Christ is the only Savior of sinners and the only way to the Father. He died as a substitute for sinners and was raised from the dead so that they might become reconciled to God.
• Eternal life is a free gift that is received through faith in Jesus Christ alone. Eternal life is neither deserved by anyone nor can be earned by good deeds.
