Ex Visu ad Verum
From Vision to Reality

OUR PURPOSE:  To prepare young people to thrive in meaningful lives. 

First and foremost, we understand that this mission must be grounded in the clear thinking and discipline that only an exacting academic program can instill.  Accordingly, Collingwood’s primary focus is to develop and deliver a rigorous academic program. Yet readiness for a truly meaningful life cannot be based merely on academic activities; far more is required. The ideal preparatory environment must also enrich and challenge the whole child at every turn. Therefore, Collingwood strives thoughtfully and purposefully to build just such an environment through bountiful co-curricular programming in athletics, performing and fine arts, and service.

OUR PROMISE:   To provide a caring, challenging community enabling students to make wise choices throughout their lives.

A Collingwood education is designed to stretch our students from an early age in all aspects of their lives, to challenge them constantly to venture into the unknown, and through this process to become discerning, resilient, contributing, fulfilled citizens of the world. Each Collingwood program will be fashioned to expect and encourage every student to stretch beyond the familiar, to go out on the high wire so to speak (don’t worry we have nets), to be the best that he or she can be.
