The College of Richard Collyer, formerly called Collyer’s School, is a coeducational sixth form college in Horsham, West Sussex, England.
In recent years, the college has achieved the best A-level results in West Sussex for state-run institutions and is widely regarded to be one of the best sixth form colleges in the country. Academically it is a very strong school; the students regularly achieve good results and a significant number progress to the most prestigious universities. The college is rated as being 'Outstanding' by Ofsted and is the only further education college in the county to have achieved this.
It is also the second oldest school in West Sussex after The Prebendal School in Chichester and the fourth oldest school in Sussex. The college is Grade II listed by the English Heritage.
Collyer’s serves about 1600 students between 16 and 19 years of age. It offers AS and A-level courses in 45 different subjects, including a selection not taught at other local colleges. 20 further subjects are offered towards AVCE, BTEC, GNVQ and vocational certifications and GCSE examinations.
The College of the University of Chicago is the university's sole undergraduate institution and one of its oldest components, emerging contemporaneously with the university at large in 1892. Instruction is provided by faculty from across all graduate divisions and schools for its 5100 students; however, the College retains a select group of young, proprietary scholars who teach its core curriculum offerings. Unlike many major American research universities, the College is small in comparison to the University's graduate divisions, with graduate students outnumbering undergraduates at a 2:1 ratio. The College is most notable for its core curriculum pioneered by Robert Maynard Hutchins, which remains the most expansive amongst highly ranked American colleges, as well as its emphasis on preparing students for continued graduate study; 85% of graduates go onto graduate study within 5 years of graduation, which is higher than any other school, and around 15-20% of graduates go on to receive PhDs.
