Collegiate School, Private preparatory school in Richmond, Virginia.
Collegiate School is a private preparatory institution in Richmond, Virginia, serving students from Junior Kindergarten through Grade 12. The 155-acre campus features modern athletic facilities, science laboratories, and specialized learning spaces designed for both academic and extracurricular development.
Helen Baker founded the school in 1915 as Collegiate School for Girls in downtown Richmond. A merger with Town School in 1960 transformed it into a coeducational institution serving all grade levels.
The school's name comes from its academic focus on classical collegiate education, and visitors notice how upper and lower school buildings reflect this traditional approach with their layout across the main grounds.
The school separates boys and girls into different classes during middle school years while providing coeducational instruction in lower and upper divisions. This structure allows for learning environments tailored to different developmental stages of students.
Students organize TEDxYouth@RVA events where they present innovative work developed through their senior Capstone class. These gatherings demonstrate how students apply their learning to public speaking and idea sharing beyond the classroom.
