Campus Overview

Collegiate Academy is a college preparatory high school serving students in grades nine through 12. Challenging and relevant, Collegiate’s comprehensive curriculum prepares students for college and the world of work in a global economy. Students benefit from a broad offering of Advanced Placement (AP) and Honors courses, as well as Career Academy courses that provide pathways in technology, science, engineering, law and communication arts. The Collegiate Early College allows highly motivated students starting in the ninth grade the opportunity to take college courses and earn a maximum of two years college credit as they complete their diploma.

In 2005-06, Collegiate expanded its AP program to include AP Computer Science, a rarity among area high schools because of its rigor. Of the nearly 300 seniors this year, 92 percent graduated and a majority of graduates were accepted to college.

The Collegiate Academy campus is located in Ward 7 at 4095 Minnesota Avenue, Northwest. The campus is open for extended morning hours from 6 a.m. to 8 a.m. on weekdays and special hours on weekends for academic tutorials, career- and service-learning activities, and athletics programs. General hours of operation are from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
