Your Summer. Your Adventure. Your People.
Summer shouldn't mean stopping. At Wichita Collegiate School, it means starting something new - a passion, a skill, a friendship, or simply a love of learning that carries you through the year ahead. Summer Explorations is where curiosity comes alive, and every student finds their place to shine.
A Summer Built for Every Student
With over 100 classes offered each summer, there's something here for everyone. Whether your child is a budding scientist, a natural performer, an athlete, or someone who just wants to try something they've never tried before, Summer Explorations delivers a rich mix of programs designed to engage, challenge, and delight.
Our offerings span:
- Academics — reinforcing learning and reducing summer lag
- Fine Arts — creative expression across a variety of disciplines
- Athletics — building teamwork, skill, and confidence on and off the field
- STEM — hands-on exploration of science, technology, engineering, and math
- Academic Classes for Credit — get ahead while freeing up your school-year schedule
Every class is taught by one of more than 50 experienced Collegiate teachers - the same passionate educators who guide students during the school year. Your child won't just be supervised this summer; they'll be truly taught, known, and cared for.
 | 600+ Students. Endless Possibilities.Each summer, more than 600 students fill our campus with energy, laughter, and curiosity.They come for the classes, and they stay for the community. Friendships form across grade levels. Students discover hidden talents and find new challenges, and every child goes home with more than they came with. That's the Summer Explorations difference. |
 | Learning That Doesn't Feel Like WorkThe best kind of learning happens when students don't even realize it's happening.At Summer Explorations, we design experiences that are joyful and low-pressure - spaces where students can take risks, make mistakes, and grow without the weight of grades or expectations. Our teachers create lessons rooted in real curiosity, hands-on exploration, and genuine fun. The skills students build here (critical thinking, creativity, resilience, and the confidence to try something new) stay with them long after summer ends. |
 | An Extension of Everything Collegiate Stands ForSummer Explorations isn't a departure from the Collegiate experience.It is the Collegiate experience. It is the same culture of excellence, care, and whole-child development that defines our school, carried joyfully into the summer months. We believe every child deserves to feel seen, valued, and guided by someone who believes in them. That's what our teachers bring to every classroom, every day, every summer. |
