If the fact that you're getting two years of college isn't enough ... the staff, students and atmosphere at the Collegiate High School are all fantastic... they put more trust in you ... you know your responsibilities and you're expected to do tem, but it is all more relaxed.

My favorite thing about being a CHS student is the respect and freedom that I am given. But at the same time, I am not on my own and there is always a staff member there to help me.

I came to Collegiate High School because it offered me a chance to get ahead of the game. This school trusts its students and gives them freedom to be who they are. In normal high schools, students have to conform to the general curriculum, but here students take classes they enjoy and pertain to their major.

At the Collegiate High School, I feel like the work I'm doing, although it is tough at times, is worthwhile. Also, I grew up in a small private school environment, so after attending public school, I feel at home again.

I chose to come to CHS because I thought earning an AA degree while finishing high school sounded like too good of an opportunity to pass up... Coming to Collegiate HS was the best decision I have made in my academic career thus far... if you are dedicated, hard-working and/or financially strapped for college funds, collegiate is the place for you. Collegiate builds your independence, strengthens your study habits and puts your skills to the test by allowing you to display your talents... my favorite thing about CHS is that fact it makes you so prepared for the real world after high school. I have matured so much as a person from being here.

I chose to come here for the free college degree! There is so much more freedom and individuality there compared to normal high school... my only regret is not being able to come here sooner. Collegiate HS is want you make of it... there are endless options for classes that fit you. You are able to prioritize yourself and take advantage of free college education in an active learning environment.

Coming to Collegiate was a smart decision because I am going to graduate with an AA degree which is a wonderful jump-start to my future goal of becoming a doctor. The opportunity gets me one step closer to my dream! Collegiate HS prepared me for college-level work. This higher level curriculum taught at Collegiate HS is preparing me for future challenging classes.

My favorite thing about being here is the atmosphere... at any given time there's at least one football game going and a few guitars or other instruments being played... the free time between and after classes is the best part of Collegiate HS.

Coming to Collegiate High School was a great decision! I met some of my closest friends here and got to take awesome college classes that interest me! My favorite this is the freedom of choosing your instructors, classes, etc., based on your program of study. Also, I get all my general AA courses out of the way, so I can take my major courses at the university!

I chose to come to the Collegiate High School because I knew I would receive a higher level of education. At the Collegiate High School they give you so much freedom, as long as you don't abuse it, and you are treated like an adult.

I wanted to go to a smaller school without sacrificing the academic status. The environment at the Collegiate High School is much more relaxed and respectable among students and faculty. I am also getting a two year college degree for free!

Coming to the Collegiate High School was one of the best decisions I have ever made. The environment is relaxed, friendly, and academic.

I love how the faculty knows each student personally and is always there to help.

My Collegiate High School experience is showing me how college really is, and it has prepared me in time management and self discipline which has made me mature quite a bit.

My favorite things about the Collegiate High School are freedom and being treated with respect. I also love the fact that they allow you to make certain decisions on your own and you get to build a schedule that works for you.

Not only is the Collegiate High School preparing students on an educational basis with college level classes, but the Collegiate High School also teaches students valuable lessons. I have personally learned how important it is to map out my future and be responsible in making decisions that will affect my future.

My favorite thing about being a Collegiate High School student is having the idea that all of my hard work at school will put me two years ahead of my former peers. I also enjoy the faculty at the Collegiate High School and at NWF State College. They treat the students like adults.

I'm planning to double major when I get to a four-year university, which often takes five years or more. Thanks to the Collegiate High School, I've already started earning credits towards my degrees. I'll now be able to finish college sooner and save money in the process.

I love the small-school atmosphere here at the Collegiate High School. Since there are relatively few students here, we all know each other and everyone is really supportive of everyone else. I never really thought that a school could feel like "home", but the Collegiate High School has proved me wrong.

The Collegiate High School has helped me make decisions now that will help me prepare for college. The Collegiate High School encourages students to explore prospective careers so they can choose appropriate classes. Before attending the Collegiate High School, I only had a vague idea of what I was going to do. now I have already chosen a major and the college I want to attend.
