WHAT OUR SCHOLARS AND PARENTS ARE SAYING“I like the longer classes like Math and ELA because it gives me more time to learn and the electives because they give me a chance to learn in a different way.”

Angelina Puglisi, CMS Student

“Collins Middle School provides an excellent and challenging education, but it is so much more. The skills of communicating with honesty, clarity and tact, to cooperate with all members of the community and to act in a trustworthy manner are empowering skills. These core values of CMS are life skills that will ensure a scholar’s success at whatever path in life that is chosen.”

Dina Calef - Parent
