Cardinal Education is an independent educational consulting company. We are not affiliated, associated, authorized, endorsed by, or in any way officially connected with any public or private school.
In our experience, Asian Americans find it more difficult to get into the top boarding schools.
Located in Simsbury, CT, Westminster School is an outstanding institution that offers day and boarding school accommodations for students who aspire to gain high-quality college preparatory education. The school offers an exceptional education, opportunities for personal and academic growth, and community service. It is also known for its athletic program, where students engage in a variety of sports, including basketball, lacrosse, ice hockey, and skiing. State-of-the-art facilities provide students with a conducive and effective learning experience.
