Allendale Columbia School

Now well into its second century, Allendale Columbia is a leading independent co-ed college prep school for students in nursery through grade 12. Description: Here, learning goes far beyond books and tests. Allendale Columbia has the freedom to dig deeper so students can question more, discuss, debate, and question again. As a result, students develop critical thinking skills and become effective problem solvers. Allendale Columbia faculty members use their independence and experience to connect knowledge to real life so students can make more sense of the world—and their place in it. It all adds up to a different school of thought: high expectations, relevant experiences, and a global community. General Information: At Allendale Columbia School, you can expect to experience comprehensive electives in Lower School, a dedicated S.T.E.M. program for students in grades K-5, world languages starting in Lower School, Latin as early as Middle School, family-style lunch that students rave about, no-cut policies for performing arts and athletics, rigorous academics delivered by teachers who know each of their students individually, a talented full-time college advisor, and much more.
