About
Collegiate School is an all-boys independent day school on the Upper West Side of Manhattan serving Kindergarten through Grade 12, founded in 1628 by the Dutch West India Company and the Dutch Reformed Church. It is the oldest school in the United States. Collegiate enrolls roughly 650 students and occupies a purpose-built building on Freedom Place South near Riverside Park South, completed in 2018, with a separate athletic complex. The academic program is traditional and rigorous, emphasizing classical and modern languages (including Latin and Greek), advanced mathematics and sciences, and a broad humanities sequence; the Upper School curriculum is structured around honors-level coursework rather than AP designations. Collegiate competes in the Ivy Preparatory School League and consistently sends graduates to the most selective colleges and universities in the United States.
