Simply, the college hopes to encourage and teach every student to do his/her best by developing a sense of belonging.We are also a very busy college and throughout the week and including the weekends, the resources of the school, especially our magnificent Science Laboratories, Art Studio and Computer Centre are used by students and staff to the full.The teaching staff are dedicated and restlessly busy. In consequence, the boys and girls are kept busy and we feel this happy pursuit of academic emphasis, spiritual and extra-curricula challenges will be the way our students will form the foundation for successful lives.At Westminster College we certainly want all the students to feel the sense of fulfillment that comes from facing up to and overcoming challenges.We also want HARD WORK because the school is conscious of its responsibility to parents, many of whom make considerable sacrifices to send their children here.There is no other college quite like Westminster College Lagos. I hope you will come to visit us and feel for yourself the special atmosphere of security and happiness which makes achievement possible. It is a very good place to live, learn and grow up.
