The University of Winnipeg Collegiate, also commonly called The Collegiate, is a private, university-preparatory high school. Founded in 1873 within Wesley College, The Collegiate is the oldest high school in the province of Manitoba. The school is located in downtown Winnipeg, Canada on the University of Winnipeg campus.

Admissions

There is limited enrollment for grade 10 and grade 11, 75, and 135 respectively. Because of the limited enrollment at the grade 10 level, all applicants are required to meet with The Collegiate Dean for an interview. [http://www.uwinnipeg.ca/index/collegiate-admissions UW-Collegiate ] ]

Academics

The Collegiate's academic programme is university preparatory; the curriculum is based on Manitoba Ministry of Education standards. The academic year follows closely with the University of Winnipeg's, which gives Collegiate students the opportunity to experience a pace consistent with University.

Faculty and Staff

The school is administered by Dean Robert Bend with Associate Deans Claude Garand, Karen Tarr and Lloyd Kornelsen. There are 32 faculty members in total, 28 of which teach at the school and 14 of which hold advanced degrees.

Campus

Academic Facilities

Wesley Hall - Is located at the south end of the University of Winnipeg campus, facing Portage Avenue. The four-floor stone sand 'castle' serves as the primary academic facility for The Collegiate, which is also the flagship building for the University of Winnipeg. The landmark sandstone building, sometimes referred to as the 'castle', underwent extensive renovations which were completed in 2006. The renovations on the heritage building, which totaled well over $7.5 million dollars, had focused primarily on the stone exterior, which had been heavily worn down over the century. The renovations also included the installation of new windows and replacement of the roof. [http://www.uwinnipeg.ca/index/cms-filesystem-action?file=pdfs/media-releases/release-070619.pdf] The administrative offices of the Dean of The Collegiate and admission services are located on the 2nd floor of Wesley Hall. Tony's Cafeteria is located on the main floor of Wesley and is a popular hang out for staff and students.

Sparling Hall - Also known as the 'annex', is located north and west of Wesley Hall. Most Collegiate activities take place in Wesley Hall, however classes at the school are also taught in the 'annex' or Sparling Hall and Manitoba Hall. Sparling also houses the Aurora Family Therapy Centre and Technology Solutions Centre.

Manitoba Hall - Is north of Sparling Hall, the building is primarily composed of chemistry labs and classrooms. A few second-floor classrooms are used for Collegiate classes during the academic year.
