The School at Columbia
The School at Columbia University (“The School”), located on 110th Street and Broadway, is a Kindergarten through Grade 8 independent school created by Columbia University to serve children of neighboring families and those of eligible Columbia University employees.
- Primary entry points of The School are Kindergarten and Grade 6, though spaces occasionally become available in other grades.
- Columbia-affiliated families, other than those in Columbia bargaining units, must be eligible for the Primary Tuition Scholarship in order to be eligible to attend The School.
- Spaces for neighborhood children (those living in Public School Districts 3 and 5 but not affiliated with Columbia University, except those in bargaining units) are allocated through a random lottery and tuition is need-blind.
- The Provost's Office allocates the spaces for Columbia Officers, however priority for open seats is for faculty recruitment and retention.
