Message from the Head of School

Dear Collegiate Community,

 

What a journey this year has been. Guided by our motto Parat, Ditat, Durat — Prepare, Enrich, Endure — Collegiate School began planning last spring to reopen campus in September amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. 

 

Now, one extraordinary school year later, I am so very happy to say that our moonshot was successful — thanks to the support and stamina of our entire community of students, parents, faculty, staff, alumni and friends. We did it, Cougars, as one Collegiate!  
 
Throughout, we have been squarely focused on our students. Daily, we prepared with collective teaming and problem solving to deliver the best possible experience to enrich the learning and growth of our nearly 1,700 Cougars. 

 

Faculty and staff went above and beyond to provide a remarkable academic and extracurricular experience. Parents, grandparents, alumni and friends gave support and encouragement in ways big and small. Our incredible students embraced new habits and shared their joy and gratitude for the gift of being together, learning throughout our beautiful campus. 

 

I am confident that the palpable Cougar community spirit and life lessons will endure and continue to serve our children well. Please enjoy this video of our Teachers' Take on the school year and the wonderful students who are at the heart of everything we do:

As we head into summer break, I hope you will join me in gratitude for the people that make Collegiate an extraordinary learning community, and for just how much we’ve accomplished together this year. Wishing you a happy and healthy summer with much rejuvenation.
