My son started Westminster in 2nd grade and we couldn't be more pleased. This school has really blessed our lives and I'm so thankful the administration, teachers, and students have accepted us as family.

Westminster is a wonderful place to work. It is a privilege to work alongside others who truly care for the students and work hard to provide a great educational experience. I feel very supported by our administration and parents.

Westminster Christian Academy is a private Christian school in Huntsville, Alabama. I have attended this school since my sophomore year. I am now a senior. The education I have received at this school is mediocre. The math program struggles a lot. The teachers are very kind and mostly helpful, but a lot of them are not certified in the classes they teach. The school is not very diverse. I have really enjoyed chapel and the bible classes. Overall the school is great, but it could use some work.

I could not have been more pleased with the decisions made in light of the safety of the students and staff. They did everything they could to make in person lear...

Absolutely terrible. I do not recommend. After going to college, I realized how behind the curriculum was. Also, the school plays favorites with certain families. I beg you to send your child anywhere but here. I cannot think of any positives besides the lunch meals. I know several families who had...
