Program Overview

As of February 2012, woodworking is offered at Collegiate School within the Middle School Activities program. The program in its current form has existed continuously at Collegiate for over a decade. It is open to both boys and girls. The focus of the class is on familiarizing students with traditional handtools - no large power tools are handled by students. While most of the students' time is spent doing what they love best - cutting, chisling, sawing, and shaping -- there is a concurrent effort made to develop student life skills of planning, patience, spatial awareness, design, and care. Our class mantra - the "wisdom of the hands."
