Such a caring environment for my kids to grow and learn! We are so happy with Columbia!
11/16/2023
They do not like outsiders if your not living in there community then they frown upon you. Theu are disrespectful and beyond rude. The front desk lady needs to be fired and a new lady brought in to be respectful and kind about outsiders. They also have no transportation no buses or vans.
3/18/2019
Wonderful community. Strong staff, wonderful kids! I have had 3 kids at the school and I have always had concerns addressed appropriately.
3/13/2018
We have had two children here, and have had exceptional experiences all around! From the front desk to the groundskeeper, the teachers to the principal, everyone cares, is kind, and puts children first.
