Our student was new to the high school this year. The new building is amazing! The school year started with a camping trip for all the tenth graders before classes started the second week.

We have been at Chase Collegiate School for seventeen years, and have three daughers who attended first St. Margaret's McTernand, and now Chase Collegiate School. We first considered private school when our suburban school, also top notch, became overcrowded and trailers were brought in. Chase has
... Read more fantastic teachers. The campus is bucolic as well, and is hard to imagine in a large city, but has beautiful mature plantings, a pond, green fields, and a secluded location. When you first enter the campus, you notice it is small. That is an advantage, since everyone knows each other and supports the school. Parents, teachers, even ancillary staff are friendly and kind. Chase academics are challenging. With 100 percent college placement, and top colleges represented, many AP courses and a fantastic music, arts and theatre program, Chase graduates get something special, an extremely supportive environment with great teachers, a beautiful campus and top academics.

We now have nothing like that with our new lunch director. Still, i believe that the Middle School at Chase is falling apart. The teachers are really nice, and show attention to you, but they seem to lack a relationship that they care for you. The sports teams are great. The new high-school looks amazing. The lunch are now mediocre. Elementary School was fun, and that was a great system. Read less

I attended SMMcT from the fifth to eighth grade. The academics of SMMcT's middle school program are superb and easily the best in the state. Through the help of SMMcT's outstanding faculty I was given the best preparation for high school she could have recieved. The humanities program of the Middle school

With the school's 'no-cut' policy, the after-school athletic program is a positive experience for all. The parent involvement in this school is as strong as well. Due to the smaller grade size (about 40-45 kids) I was able to get to know everyone on a personal level, and make some of the best friends i have ever had. Read less
