Five high schools. Two post-high school programs. One mission. We enroll students starting in 9th grade believing deeply that every one of our students can access college and a life of unlimited opportunity. Through 9th grade and beyond, we work to ensure our students have access to college and rigorous post-high school options tailored to their needs. Our five high schools work to deliver a program that inspires students to follow their passions and prepares them for a competitive world. Our two post-secondary programs provide experiences to specific groups of students that prepare them for life beyond high school, whether that be college or a different post-secondary path. Our students will become the next generation of leaders. They bring incredible strengths, creativity, drive, and joy with them to school each day. A freshman enrolling with Collegiate Academies typically faces multiple challenges at once. - 85% of our students are first generation college students - 20% of our students have special education needs, almost double the district average - Our students are more than likely entering reading more than three grade-levels behind - Only one out of every four of such students come from a home where income is stable and reliable. - Yet, at Collegiate, this student will be just as likely to get accepted into college as a student in the most elite preparatory and magnet schools in the city. - 99% of our students graduate with a college acceptance in hand We are committed to ensuring that our students are equipped with the skills, knowledge, and support they need to pursue the future they desire.
