A Message from Mary Beth Marchiony
Mary Beth Marchiony
Head of School
Dear Friends,
Welcome to Topeka Collegiate School, a dynamic community of learners from age 3 through 8th grade. As a newcomer to the Topeka Collegiate family, I am still seeing the school through a prism similar to the one many of our prospective parents use to evaluate the school for their children. I was first drawn to Topeka Collegiate for its mission to “prepare students for advanced education…through a commitment to academic excellence and humanitarian ideals.” Quickly, I was drawn in by the enthusiasm and loyalty of students, parents, alumni and past parents. I knew this was a special place!
We give our full attention each day to earning the trust parents place in us when they send their children to our school. We are committed to academic excellence and developing life-long learning habits in our students.
When you visit our school, you will observe:
- Extraordinary faculty working to meet the individual learning needs of all children;
- Students who represent the next generation of community leaders as we nurture them through character-development programs and a commitment to equity and justice;
- Small classes with all children being treated as uniquely gifted;
- Parents who are partners in the education of their children.
I hope you will join me on my first year’s journey to learn the many ways Topeka’s only Independent School enhances the educational opportunities available to the families of our city. Our students are each uniquely gifted and talented, and our faculty works hard each day to challenge them to reach their full potential!
Please explore our website to learn more about Topeka Collegiate. I hope you will visit soon. I look forward to meeting you and sharing with you this warm and caring community our students call home.
Sincerely,
Mary Beth Marchiony
Head of School
