Dear Collage Families,
Collage Day School began its sixth school year on August 8th. Each year our Collage community welcomes tremendous growth, momentous occasions, and unique situations; and this year was no different.
In our Upper School, we expanded to two kindergarten, two first grade, and two second grade classes and independent third, fourth, and fifth grade classes for the first time since our school’s inception. In our Lower School, our two-year-old program grew to four classes and we started a new preschool program to support all of our learners. Furthermore, we welcomed several new positions within our support team including a revamped leadership team and a curriculum coach to further our collaborative approach to student’s successful academic achievements. This growth is testament to how well our academic curricula and programming serve all of our learners. We continued with our outdoor learning opportunities here on our eight-acre campus as we increased the TimberNook class offerings and added new outdoor learning structures in the courtyards, all of which enhance our Collage Day School mission and philosophy.
We are fortunate to have continued support from families such as yours as we progress through one of the most impactful chapters in our Collage Day School history. Although we, like many schools, faced a teacher shortage as we entered the school year, our dedicated team never lost sight of prioritizing your student’s learning, growth, and potential. As a team, we came together to further our school’s development and continued to provide the extensive program offerings families expect.
Today marks the first day of the 2023-2024 re-enrollment period for current families. Re-enrollment registration extends until January 31st, 2023. Registration will then open to families in the community, including those currently on the waitlist.
We look forward to continuing our partnership as we prepare for another chapter in our story.
Sincerely,
Leah Friedman, PhD, BCBA-D
Head of School
