About Us

Welcome
St. Columba School, where students are known, respected, and cared for by faculty, staff, and peers; where exploring ideas and loving learning are cool; where happiness and challenge walk hand-in-hand; where leadership and extracurricular opportunities abound; and where the presence of the Catholic tradition stamps a profound and lasting influence on the educational experience of our young scholars. At St. Columba, a Catholic, independent school for children in grades Pre-K - 8, each student is a valued and integral part of a joyful and inspiring campus: an enclave where he can find pitch-perfect harmony in serving others while walking, with utter confidence, alongside the beam of light God intends for him to discover, explore, and, ultimately, pursue. An ever-inclusive community in the spirit of Saint Francis, we welcome and respect students of all faiths, races, nationalities, and circumstances. |

Guiding Principles
St. Columba School is dedicated to reaching that of God in every person. Our mission is to seek truth, challenge the intellect, honor differences, embrace our community and nature, and nurture each student’s mind, body and spirit. Because we believe that every individual has “that of God within,” the search for and celebration of each student’s inner light extends well beyond the walls of the Church. For us, the arts, community involvement, the life of the mind, the care of the body and the inclusion of distinct voices and perspectives are integral to our mission.
