Excellent private academy for all grades, low teacher-student ratio, well equipped classrooms, great athletic program, secure classrooms, buildings & grounds. On site private security. Great food & plenty of it! Quite a bit of after school programs through til evening with staff always available. Students are exuberant, dedicated, focused, driven & overall, a downright rambunctious & a thrilling bunch of kids.....
I attended Collegiate for about 5 years (part of middle and high school). I can confirm a lot of what Thomas Meyen said (whether that is his real name or an alias). Collegiate definitely has a desired "fit" and if you don't meet it you are in for an awful time. It is one thing to be mistreated by students, but being mistreated by teachers crosses the line and I remember one teacher in high school (she is still employed there) who went out of her way to treat me badly even though I had respectable grades by Collegiate standards. Fortunately, my parents saw how miserable I was and let me finish high school at Maize.
Parents, if you care about your child's education, and that's great, just live in a district that has good public schools. You'll save money and more importantly, your child's personal well-being.
Our daughter went here for her first year of Pre-K, and unfortunately we moved for job relocation. The Pre-K program is fantastic. Her teachers were amazing and extremely patient, and the communication from the school was also excellent. The only thing we would have liked would have been options for 4 or 5 days/week (the 2yold program is only 2 or 3 days/week), since our daughter thoroughly enjoyed going to school. They have daily reports and crafts, music/library days, and a lesson plan so you are getting more than a typical daycare setting. Small class sizes and a professional set-up with lockers for the kids. Highly recommend to all parents, it was our favorite experience in Wichita.
I love the combination of academic and athletic challenges that Collegiate presents. I believe in Collegiate! Collegiate gives not only the student the best opportunity for academic, social, and athletic growth but it also creates an environment where teachers can be creative and work with some of the best minds in the city. All three of my children are Collegiate graduates, each was very different and Collegiate was able to meet their needs. WCS is a special place.
