Collegiate’s Upper School is dedicated
to helping students become the best they can be and to succeed
through college and adulthood.
The Upper School, grades 9-12, provides
a stimulating college preparatory program, challenging students
to become ethical thinkers, active problem solvers, and productive
citizens and leaders.
We combine caring, talented teachers with
small classes and an innovative curriculum to inspire our
students. Collegiate students graduate with the ability and
the confidence to make a difference in an ever-changing world.
The Upper School academic year is on a semester
system with comprehensive exams twice a year. Our college
preparatory program includes English, math, science, foreign
language, history, fine and performing arts, and physical
education. Marquis programs such as HATA (History and the
Arts), a two-year interdisciplinary study of world history,
combined with a diverse array of electives, creates a robust
educational experience that includes both breadth and depth.
Collegiate’s Honor Code fosters an
environment of trust and mutual respect. For example, there
are no locks on the school’s lockers. Every moment our
students spend in class, on the playing field, or serving
the community, we make certain to promote the importance of
good character. Instilling integrity and character completes
our goal of going above and beyond to develop the whole person
with confidence, imagination and excellence.
Collegiate’s faculty is wholly committed
to the progress and well-being of each and every student.
Our teachers invest themselves not just in students’
classroom experiences, but in their lives as well. Ninety
percent of our Upper School teachers hold advanced degrees.
Collegiate faculty members average over 16 years of teaching
experience.
