Head of School

Welcome to Topeka's only independent school,

We understand that choosing the right school for your child is a pivotal decision, and we are dedicated to guiding you through this process. Since 1982, Topeka Collegiate has been devoted to nurturing young minds from age 4 through 8th grade. Over the past two years, we have made significant investments in our eight-acre campus, enhancing safety, efficiency, and creating vibrant, child-centered classroom spaces. Our facilities now complement the exceptional talent of our faculty, creating a truly inspiring learning environment.

At Topeka Collegiate, we are passionate about fostering a lifelong love of learning through small class sizes and dedicated educators. Our mission is to equip students with the confidence, skills, and readiness to excel in their future endeavors. With a challenging curriculum and outstanding Beyond the Book experiences, we stand out as the premier choice for families in Shawnee County.

While we do charge tuition, our Financial Investment in Tuition (FIT) strategy is designed to make a Topeka Collegiate education both accessible and invaluable. Investing in our school is an investment in your child’s future, offering them a nurturing environment and a high-quality education that will help them thrive.

Our guiding principle is Limitless. Learning. Potential.  We take this commitment to heart, confidently challenging every student to grow into compassionate, capable leaders. The success of our alumni time and again underscores the exceptional value of a strong foundational education.

I invite you to explore the achievements of our graduates and see the impact for yourself.

Warm regards,

Dr. Lyn D. Rantz P'19, P'21
