Thank you for your interest in The Columbus School.

Our beautiful and spacious campus is located high in the Andean countryside, where the air is pure and the mountains are lush. We are a dynamic and caring learning community, committed to effective, research-based teaching methods and cooperative relationships among staff, students and parents.

Our school hires high quality professionals who are committed to our vision, mission, values and beliefs. We actively support the professional development of staff through team and committee work, Master’s courses and workshops linked to our section and school-wide goals. Our lively students come from an upper socioeconomic background and most of their parents are professionals. The Elementary school has five classes at each of eight grade levels. Each group has 20-23 children ranging in age from four to eleven years.
