On a mission guided by a vision.
Located in the heart of Buffalo’s East Side for more than two decades, we help create a strong community by being a strong choice for families who make these neighborhoods home.
Mission
At Westminster Community Charter School, we proudly provide students with a rigorous and holistic teaching approach. We cultivate a safe and caring environment so every child can grow to meet their full potential – to find their passions in life and to pursue those passions with joy, skill, and success.
Vision
Westminster Community Charter School is a community school of choice, comprised of people from many cultures, backgrounds, languages, and abilities. We work together – staff, students, families, and community partners – to create an environment in which every person belongs, every person works hard and learns, and every person reaches their full promise.
