About The Collegiate at The University of Winnipeg:

The Collegiate at The University of Winnipeg is the only high school program within a Canadian university. This exceptional high school offers studies at the Senior 2, Senior 3, and Senior 4 (Grade 10, Grade 11, and Grade 12) levels. A Collegiate Diploma qualifies you for entrance to any university in Canada.

You may attend The Collegiate in order to complete a high school diploma, to upgrade your high school qualifications, or just for the experience of studying at a Canadian high school. You may be eligible to begin your studies in a first year University Arts and Science program while you are completing your high school studies.

The academic year is designed to give university-bound students an experience of the pace demanded in studies at the undergraduate level while they are still under the closer supervision and guidance provided in a secondary school environment.
