At Allendale Columbia, our students develop a life-long enthusiasm for learning. They are motivated to accept challenges, to take risks, and to think independently. Allendale Columbia offers a strong coeducational liberal arts program for students in nursery through twelfth grade. Our college preparatory curriculum allows teachers to challenge students to reach their potential and to gain a sense of responsibility to themselves, the school community, their families, and society in general. We foster scholastic and personal independence within a structured atmosphere in which students can experience confidence and trust. Such trust enables students and teachers to be responsive to each other and to take risks. We believe that structure should liberate, not confine. Excellence is our goal.
