Known
Your Scholar Is More Than a Name on a Roster.
Small-school relationships are at the heart of Collegiate. Our teachers and staff know our scholars -- their strengths, their goals, where they need support, and where they are ready to be pushed. Families are partners in that work.
Because students do their best when they know they belong, and when the adults around them refuse to let them disappear.
Prepared
High Expectations. Real Support.
We believe ALL scholars can grow and succeed. That means rigorous academics and high expectations - paired with the support, feedback, intervention, and encouragement scholars need to meet them.
Excellence Is Habit. We build the habits, skills, confidence, and discipline scholars need long before graduation day.
Launched
100% College Acceptance.
Every Chicago Collegiate graduating class has achieved 100% college acceptance.
But our goal is bigger than an acceptance letter.
We want graduates to leave Collegiate prepared to navigate what comes next - with the skills, confidence, independence, and sense of purpose to build a life of their choosing.
College Access
Starts Here
At Chicago Collegiate, college preparation begins early.
Our vision is for scholars to have the preparation and support necessary not only to get into college, but ultimately to earn a college degree. Chicago Collegiate's vision calls for 100% of graduates to earn a college degree within six years of high school.
That's why college exposure is woven throughout the Collegiate experience.
Scholars have opportunities to explore colleges, understand the admissions process, identify potential careers, develop academic and life skills, and begin imagining what their lives could look like beyond high school.
We prepare for college every day, in every way.
By the Numbers Our Scholars Are Going Places.
Chicago Collegiate scholars continue to demonstrate what is possible when preparation meets opportunity.
