Vision, Mission and Values
Our Vision
Socially responsible students pursuing passions for a better world.
We are committed to contributing positively to our local and global communities, environmental stewardship, and supporting the well-being, and inclusion of all people. Through the pursuit of passions, students will find their unique purpose in the world.
Our Mission
To inspire and support young people for meaningful lives.
Collingwood’s personalized and inclusive approach fosters academic excellence and well-being as our students explore opportunities across the four strands--academics, athletics, arts and service learning. We value experiential learning, collaboration, character development, and problem solving across disciplines. Our graduates will join the global community as critical thinkers who are resilient, socially conscious and prepared to make the most of their opportunities.
Our Values
We live our values of courage, curiosity and community to be in service of others:
Courage
To be a leader, one must have courage. This is how we build integrity, confidence, resilience and respect for self and others.
Stepping forward or speaking out to create an environment that values the uniqueness of others, takes courage.
Our graduates will use their courage as they rise to meet challenges throughout their lives and seek to make a better future for the world.
Curiosity
Curiosity drives passion for life-long learning. This passion, in turn, drives innovation and collaboration.
To inspire curiosity, we push beyond the core curriculum to ensure our students are engaged in an education that is transformative.
Community
In our community, inclusion is a belief and approach where our students, families, alumni, faculty and staff, work together to feel a sense of belonging.
The diversity of our family is a strength. Inclusivity is a community-wide effort and we value listening, patience, and empathy.
We express our belief in community mindedness through our commitment to leadership, respect for one another, and service to others, both locally and globally.
