Why is Equity and Diversity Important to Collegiate?

This philosophy is underscored by creating an equitable, diverse and inclusive learning environment that allows each student to thrive. Collegiate offers a rigorous academic program with limitless opportunities for cultivating individual talents and interests in a climate of collaboration and respect.
