Who can register and when?
Wichita Collegiate School Summer Explorations programs are open to all local families. Registration for currently enrolled Wichita Collegiate students will be open from February 22nd - February 29th. During this time registration will be password protected. Beginning March 1st the password protection will be removed and we welcome all local families to register.
