About Us

Why do we exist?

Mission Statement: 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.

What do we believe?

Westminster Academy is an educational ministry of Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church and as such is related denominationally to the Presbyterian Church In America. It gives 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.

Who attends?

Children from homes where parents have personally embraced Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, who hold active membership in a local Christian church, and who are supported by a ministerial endorsement are eligible for enrollment. Children and youth from more than 120 Christian churches representing every major denomination comprise the student body annually.

Preamble

The God of the Old and New Testaments is the creator and sustainer of all that exists. He possesses absolute authority over all things.

God is the God of the Bible. In the Bible God has revealed Himself, His will and His way to us. Through the Bible we learn to understand the life and teachings of Jesus Christ and learn to understand His created, natural world and the principles He has placed therein.

Schooling must use the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as the infallible basis and interpreter for all teaching and learning.

Schooling must guide the child to an understanding of God's centrality to all of life and learning. No academic discipline or schooling activity lies outside of this quest.

God has loaned children to their parents - not to schools, churches or governments. The school exists to assist parents in the Godly rearing of their children as an extension of their home.
