High School at Collegiate is the culminating achievement of a committed
student. The high school is
comprised of grades nine through twelve and is separated into honors
and Advanced Placement tracks. Collegiate high school students form
bonds with each other that allow them to push themselves to achieve
academic, social and civic success. It is in our high
school that students fully realize the importance of the Core Values, which have been instilled in them from an early age. Our students embody
integrity, epitomize quality, exemplify perseverance, and value
ownership. In short, the Collegiate Academy high school is a blend of
character education and rigorous academics designed to prepare students for college and Colorado's 21st century workforce.
Our seniors leave Collegiate highly prepared for the workload and rigor of college. By the time they
graduate, students will have completed 40 hours of community service and
written a college level term paper. The "Senior Thesis" represents a first step toward a
successful college career, requiring sustained literary analysis modeled on an English 101 term paper students will compose in college. Many Collegiate students
graduate high school and enter their college of choice with Sophomore status due to their AP classes and test scores. Starting in the
ninth grade, students are able to take AP classes which prepare them for
college rigor, critical thinking success, and the AP exams. In short,
the Collegiate high school is not only the culmination of our academic
and character program, it is a world class environment from which
students spring into the next chapter of their lives.
High School Graduation:
Our
High School curriculum and graduation requirements are aligned with the
Jefferson County Content Standards. However, students are offered and
encouraged to take more "core" classes including four years of math,
three years of science, and three years of foreign language.
Each student receives help with academics, career/college planning, and
college scholarship and application processing. Scheduling is reviewed
to make sure each student receives the required number of hours and
credits.
