A Message from David Hudspeth
David Hudspeth
Head of School
Dear Friends,
As parents, teachers, and students at Topeka Collegiate School, our common goal as we walk the road of lifelong learning is to achieve our best. Our journey begins with exemplary faculty and their commitment to leave no stone unturned in encouraging and enabling each student to reach his or her individual potential. Inspirational teachers form the benchmark by which students ultimately model their own passion to learn. Students at Topeka Collegiate are exposed to a challenging curriculum in a safe and caring environment. The joy of learning is their bridge to becoming lifelong learners.
Experiences in classrooms, on playing fields and off-campus on field trips enable students in pre-k through eighth grade to mature academically, physically, emotionally and socially. During their years together at Topeka Collegiate, our boys and girls - so soon to become men and women - are learning to think, to work, to question, to be independent and responsible, to relate with others, to laugh at their mistakes, and to act generously when success comes their way.
While here, each student follows his or her own path, with individualized encouragement at every step. Topeka Collegiate is a school rich with diversity, an inclusive community where gender, race, religious, culture and socio-economic differences are welcomed and embraced. At Topeka Collegiate School, knowledge and understanding are integrated into a real-world coeducational experience allowing each student to grow and to realize his or her unique potential.
Our students are reaching for excellence, not just in classroom achievements, but in the development of character. Having learned from these experiences, Topeka Collegiate graduates are ready for life and citizenship in the world around them. And just as our students modeled the spirit of their teachers along the way, they themselves become role models as they begin to influence others after graduation and throughout their lives as Topeka Collegiate alumni.
I thank you for considering Topeka Collegiate School. I urge you to visit our campus to further explore the many possibilities and opportunities the school possesses for your child and I look forward to talking with you in the near future.
Sincerely,
David Hudspeth
Head of School
