Earn a High School Diploma and Associate Degree at the Same Time
The college admissions process is an essential part of our work at The Collegiate Academy. From the start, we seek to educate parents, students, and faculty about the admissions process in a way that is inclusive. We treat all applications with the utmost care, tailoring each application to the needs of the student. Collegiate Academy is a small, family-centered community of about 350 students committed to small class sizes and a low student to teacher ratio. We seek to create an engaging learning environment that develops creative problem-solvers in a college preparatory model which both challenges and supports our students.
