Walter Murray Collegiate graciously hosts SAGE, Saskatoon Public Schools' advanced program for interested and eligible students in grades 9 to 12. This is for students with excellent motivation, a strong academic record, and a solid work ethic. These students can apply to the SAGE Program. It focuses on the “integration and development of skills across subjects including communication, presentation, critical thinking, and analysis.” Students can "master course subject matter" and "practice skills in an integrated and interdisciplinary manner." French Immersion at the high school level is available at Walter Murray Collegiate. To be eligible, students must have completed French Immersion Kindergarten through Grade 8 or have a similar level of fluency. Students take an average of three to five French courses per year. They schedule their other courses separately. Students who complete this program receive a bilingual certificate. Walter Murray Collegiate offers a top-tier Fine Arts Program. There are many opportunities for students to perform and improve with the band. There are around 50-75 students in each grade. We have 100 choir members each year. Our choirs and bands travel annually to an out-of-province music festival. Additionally, there are many visually and graphically talented students who have been able to showcase and improve their art skills through the programs. Walter Murray offers classes for 4 years in three different fields: electronics, wood construction and mechanics. We offer students a technical program, as all core classes are offered, as well as computer science and robotics. Central Campus allows students to take elective courses and pursue their interests without having to leave the school. Walter Murray Collegiate is a school that offers many different opportunities, including extracurricular activities.

Most of the feedback praises the school's supportive environment and academics. They describe the teachers as knowledgeable and committed to the students, with a wide range of classes. Some reviewers also commend the close-knit community and the welcoming environment they experienced. Some of the feedback is unrelated to academics, particularly in the last sentence, which is unhelpful to future students. Generally, several positive comments highlight the excellent support and sense of belonging that students receive at the school. And most recommendations suggest that potential students can benefit from attending. One significant drawback, irrelevant or inappropriate reviews, where the reviewers discuss irrelevant topics such as "Yeet" or unwanted school life experiences. The school administration should reconsider these comments before making any decisions. Resultantly, the school may have room for improvement and may not recover if this behavior continues.
