We love St Columba! They have the best Montessori program ever, and my son thrived while he was there. Never had any issues with teachers or other kids and they took the best care of him. Thank you for providing such a wonderful place for my son to grow!

I will always love this school. I remember when Craig and I interviewed with Kevin Chick, the principal, to see if this would be a good place for my son Charlie. When I explained Charlies health issues to him and asked if the school would be compassionate and accommodating and work with the fact that hed miss a week every 2 months due to serious illness, Kevins reply was, serving a child with needs like Charlie is serving Christ. Thats all I needed to know! I seriously almost started crying on the spot. I was sold on St. Columba. Craig whispered, Um, do you want to tour the school or meet the teacher? and I said, No. Im good. (We did end up taking the tour and meeting the teacher, and by then, I was pretty giddy). I can never express enough how grateful I am that Charlie was intellectually challenged and valued during his time there. He was more than his syndrome at St. Columba, and I truly believe that they find a way for all children to thrive--the whole child: spiritually, physically, academically, emotionally.-Danielle Sullivan

Three children later, I can say that our experience at St. Columba has been transformative. The amazing staff, devoted teachers, loving family community, rigorous academics, incredible performing arts program and the overall climate of excellence will be dearly missed as my youngest graduates in May. Thanks for the memories, the values instilled and the commitment to educating the whole child! St. Columba has been a true blessing to our family!

We have been part of the St. Columba School family for the past 4 years and have been so happy here. My children are challeged, happy, and thriving. Academics are on point, expectations are consistent, and their individual needs are met. The small environment creates such a great community for all the children and families!

Two years ago I would of given this school five stars. We were very happy here for many years. Unfortunately the current administration values a higher volume of students rather then quality education or student safety. We felt forced to leave last year after it was clear that nothing was going to change and our child starting suffering as a result. I hear it has only continued to go downhill. They will accept almost any child regardless of behavioral issues, labels. educational needs whose parents are willing to pay the tuition which doesnt always work well in a classroom of almost 30 children with one teacher and no staff in place for extra support. They will of course paint a rosy picture that everything is great but that is not always the case and there is no transparency here. Incidents involving your child will not always be reported to you.

I was a student of this school from 1990 -1998 (1st- 8th grade) I would not send a kid here if they paid me a million dollars per year. This school is abusive and will probably see consequences for it in the near future. I still suffer psychological disorders form the time I spent here and Im 35 now. SHAME ON THIS SCHOOL!!!
