expresses their talents through Academics, the Arts,

Music, Communications, Media, Technology, and

Sports: there is something for everyone.

We offer a greater variety of programming than any

Students today have so many talents and skills;

all they need is the right opportunity to discover

the guidance and opportunity to shine.

Our students feel that the reason they are so

successful at Collegiate is that we put student

learning first and ensure a safe, equitable and

engaging environment, where everyone feels

Our students thrive in our technology-rich academic

environment, balanced with opportunities to

ties to the St. Catharines community; a community

where parents, staff and students work together to

achieve social and cultural development. We are so

proud of the difference our students make to our

city and to our global world.
