Collegiate is a private boys’school in New York. The boys take required courses in mathematics、English、soclai studies、and science. They can also choose electives in sports and computer science.

Some parents say ,“Taking care of babies is too difficult for young boys.”Many older boys say,“Girls should take care of babies.”Yet ,the boys like the class very much . Maybe these children do not think that taking care of babies is only for girls. Maybe children at this age are interested in anything . Anyway, the Collegiate school course is popular.
