Oliver Wendell Holmes said it best, "Where we love is home - home that our feet may leave, but not our hearts." For over 100 years, Collegiate School has become and remains home to so many. We are proud to welcome our newest Cougars to the family and to thank our current and past family members for supporting and making this School such a strong source of pride. At Collegiate, we celebrate traditions and anxiously look forward to what the future holds. A future molded by our values and grounded in "Minds that seek. Hearts that serve."

Most schools have special programs or traditions that serve as hallmarks of the special bonds forged between students, families, and faculty over the years. Here are some of our treasured ones:
An all-school gathering on Grover Jones Field for students, faculty and staff held in September to kick-off each year. Kindergartners spend this special time with their Senior buddies.
To help ease the transition into a new school, each student new to Collegiate in 1st Grade through 12th Grade is paired with a current student in the same class or grade.
