Middle & Upper School Fine Arts
Music
Westminster's music program is devoted to developing student talent for the benefit of others and the glory of God. We actively participate in the Georgia Music Educators Association (GMEA) which offers exceptional opportunities for students beyond the classroom. Students who participate in GMEA events receive awards on transcripts and at the Honors Day Assembly in the spring.
Theatre
If you love the stage, Westminster has a place for you!
The Westminster Theatre department offers many ways for students to express their creativity which includes two to three main shows and several class productions per year. We are also active members of the International Thespian Society, an honors program for theatre.

Visual Arts
Westminster offers Middle and Upper School students a variety of ways to express themselves in the visual arts. From drawing, photography, sculpting, ceramics, and painting – the talent of our young artists shines! We also offer AP Studio Art to juniors and seniors who demonstrate talent, determination, a good work ethic, and passion for the visual arts.
Students in grades nine - 12 can join the National Art Honors Society. This is a great way for students to get involved with art shows and art scholarships while serving in the arts.
Our students have won over 2,000 awards in local, state, and national art contests including two silver medals from the National Scholastic Arts and Writing Awards and a perfect score in AP Studio Art.
