Our Voices

Student, Wentworth

Collingwood has always been a place where I can make mistakes, try my hardest, and grow as a person.

Collingwood consistently looks for innovative ways to maximize learning, and we have dedicated faculty who are passionate about educational research.

Alumni

Friends and teachers went above and beyond to help me transition from Olympic rowing to Wealth Advisor. I am thankful Collingwood allowed me to believe I could do it all!

Student, Morven

I love the opportunities Collingwood has given me across the Four Strands-they have helped me become a leader, a good listener and challenged me to take more risks.

Why Collingwood?

Forward Focused Learning

Collingwood’s commitment to Forward Focused Learning emphasizes authentic, real-world educational experiences and a personalized approach to learning for all students.

Personalized Approach to Learning

Collingwood is committed to learning and teaching excellence that provides an exceptional academic foundation in literacy and numeracy.

Through programs that foster curiosity, we challenge our students to build their independence and apply skills beyond only acquiring knowledge.

Expansive Co-curriculars to Deepen Learning

Across the grades, we offer a variety of co-curricular activities for students spanning the Four Strands of Academics, Arts, Athletics and Service Learning. Co-curricular offerings are a great way for students to explore the world around them and to discover personal passions.

University Guidance

Collingwood’s University Guidance office commits to meeting with every senior student, every year. Utilizing a listen-first approach to advising, students and their families are encouraged to explore post-secondary options with curiosity and creativity. Ultimately, this helps our graduates find their best-fit program, community and future path.

Beyond the High School Experience

Collingwood offers 20+ Advanced Placement (AP) courses that span the full range of academic areas.

AP courses are university-level studies, and students who complete these courses and their exams are able to receive university credits that can be applied to their first year studies. Each year more than 80% of our students enrol in at least one AP course. We also offer two additional courses: Advanced Topics in Mathematics and Organic Chemistry, that extend beyond the AP curriculum and are the equivalent of second-year university college course work. Advanced Topics in Mathematics, for example, offers university-level mathematics to students who have completed all other AP Math courses.
