My daughter has been at Columbia for two years. She loves her school. We are blessed she can be part of such a great school.

We LOVE being a part of the Columbia Family. Even though we are relatively new, I know the relationships our 3 kids and ourselves are making are the kind that lasts a lifetime. My kids are growing in all areas; spiritually, academically, physically, and socially and their focus on building good character is outstanding! They now have the healthy challenge and accountability academically that they were missing and in that, they have found joy and personal drive because they have been able to see just what they are capable of doing. So thankful for this place and the genuine care they have for my children's days and their tomorrows and....that extends to our entire family. It is absolutely BLESSING! One of my favorite things is that my children's names are known, they are truly known and seen enough to recognize when they are having a hard day and for me, that is incredibly important. So grateful!

We have been a family here for 5 years and can't imagine going anywhere else. Our son has been thriving in not just academics, but in growing as a respectful individual. The focus on not just the academics, but also on the emotional and social aspects of each student is fantastic. The staff and faculty are wonderful and genuinely care about each individual student.

My son is going into his 5th year at Columbia and we love this school. What stands out most to me is the feeling of community that is apparent at Columbia. The loving teachers, the involved parents, the small classes, the fact that faith is infused in all aspects of learning. I am grateful we found Columbia and look forward to my son being able to stay here, at the same school, from preschool through the end of High School.

My husband and I are grandparents of a student who graduated from Columbia. We highly value the influence Columbia's teachers and administration has on our grandson. He and his family came from a foreign nation and his English was quite limited. At Columbia, with teachers who truly cared about his education and him personally, he bloomed! He enthusiastically continued his education and now has a Masters Degree and a career which he enjoys and now he makes a difference in people's quality of life. We enthusiastically endorse Columbia and its dedicated, caring, and wise teachers!
