The extra care our daughter received from staff and instructors of the Collegiate High School and the academic challenge was the combination that kept her on the right pathway to success in her high school and collegiate studies and contributed to a high degree to her nomination to the Mountain West Conference Academic Team from the US Air Force Academy.

OWC Collegiate High School is a great school and I am glad to have made the choice to come here. Here you're not just a student, you're a person. I think that you can do more coming to O-W than any area high school . . . I actually look forward to coming every day. The OWC Collegiate High School also gives you more opportunities than a regular high school. The program is well developed and well structured . . . The teachers are so wonderful -- they teach the information so you can understand the material better and do it in a fun way.

At my previous school it was so crowded and I hardly knew anyone. When I came here everyone was so welcoming and I felt really comfortable. With the smaller atmosphere I not only know everyone, I also get one-on-one time with teachers. . .

This school offers a more challenging learning environment. I am interested in studying in the medical field and this school allows me to reach my career goals faster and better, while also helping me with my learning and study habits. I recommend CHS because it saves a ton of money and time.

I really, really like it here. Everyone gets along, and you're more challenged . . . in other schools you just sit in class and learn the same thing over and over again . . . History is probably my favorite subject . . . my teacher brings everything to life with interactive stories- he's really animated.

At other schools, I wondered why I was there. Here, we make goals and the staff helps us create a schedule to meet those goals -- so it all makes sense. I also like that the teacher-student relationships here are more personal. The teachers really help you.

I love everything here. The teachers actually care about what they teach. . . I'm looking to go to Oxford or Cambridge when I graduate. This experience is preparing me for what it will be like in a college setting.

After being home schooled, I was ready for a more structured school. . . Here, I'm having fun being challenged academically and working with others who are just as interested in school (as I am). When I'm finished, I'll be two-years ahead.

I'd like to become a pediatrician and I know that means I have a lot of school ahead of me. By attending the Collegiate High, I'm getting a head start.
