Early Childhood

Their first school story starts here.

Before children can grow, they need to feel known.

At this age, confidence is built in small moments-being greeted by name, knowing where to put your backpack, asking a question, trying again, making a friend, sharing an idea. At Collegiate, those moments are the foundation of everything that follows.

Academics

Since 1963, Wichita Collegiate School has been preparing students to lead lives of impact rooted in curiosity, character, and collaboration. As we have done since the beginning, we offer our students a rich liberal arts education that intertwines through its curriculum the values that we believe essential to live a purposeful life.

Fine Arts

At Collegiate, the Fine Arts aren't an elective - they're essential. Human expression through art strengthens social-emotional growth in every student. Our programs develop creative and critical thinkers who are more empathetic, more resilient, and better prepared for whatever comes next. In a world increasingly shaped by technology, the skills students build here are genuinely AI-proof.

Athletics

At Collegiate, athletics is more than a season - it's a way of life. Our student-athletes grow up in a culture where preparation, pride, and purpose come together to produce champions in competition and in character.
