Wichita Collegiate School is a truly fantastic establishment that provides a one-of-a-kind education. I have attended Collegiate since preschool, and I am forever amazed at the level of care and dedication each and every teacher and faculty member possesses. The school provides a positive learning environment and boundless opportunities for its students. Not only does Collegiate have stellar academics, but they also have so many other experiences to enrich the life of each and every student- whether they are in preschool or a senior in high school! Sports, fine arts, vocal music department, band, and the amazing STEM building and innovation labs provide a unique experience. Our teachers expect our best efforts and the students expect their teachers to be willing to help with every step. Collegiate students are no strangers to challenges. Our school motto, Probe Te Dignum, translates to "Prove Yourself Worthy." The students at Collegiate display this motto throughout their schooling.

As a public school product and former public school teacher I believe in investing in and supporting the public schools and struggled with the decision to send our children to private school. However, at Wichita Collegiate, the second you step foot on campus it is impossible to not want this type of education for your kids. Collegiate is magic and we felt it from the second our kids began attending in Great Beginnings. We are now well into the Lower School years and I can't imagine a better environment for all four of our (very different!) children. Every time we leave parent-teacher conferences we are amazed at how well the teachers know and capture the nuances of our childrens' learning styles and personalities. Don't let the pricetag scare you. They have a wonderful indexed tuition system and we love that our children learn alongside kids representing a range of socio-economic and cultural diversity. We truly couldn't ask for more.

Wichita Collegiate School is a second home for my FOUR children where they feel connected, comfortable, and seen. Faculty and Staff put ALL of their efforts into making sure that students are the center of all that goes on in the classroom and in all other areas of their lives/interests.

The WCS community is welcoming and overwhelmingly supportive of all students and families who join. The rigor and high expectations at WCS is only matched by the commitment by its stakeholders to create an inclusive environment of caring individuals who are always excited to help students learn and grow.

I could not think of a better school and community for my children to be a part of.
