As a neighborhood school, the mission of Columbia is to educate students to be self-directed, collaborative learners, complex and creative thinkers: who produce quality work and contribute positively to the community.
We are a community of
diverse and lifelong learners
nurturing
respect,
cooperation,
responsibility,
and
perseverance
in becoming our
best selves.
We believe the world is a better place when we are respectful.
We will demonstrate this belief by:
Being kind and accepting of others
Encouraging others with positive words and actions
Settling differences with understanding
We believe in working cooperatively for a common goal.
We will demonstrate this belief by:
Helping others and letting others help you
Taking turns, sharing ideas, and doing your part
Working toward a win-win solution
We believe by being responsible we become productive citizens.
We will demonstrate this belief by:
Leaving things better than you found them
Acting in a safe and healthy way
Knowing your job and do what you know is right
We believe that perseverance is an important part of learning.
We will demonstrate this belief by:
Knowing learning can be hard work
Setting your goal and putting forth sincere effort
Showing pride in your work and celebrate
