New Families 2021-2022
Welcome to The School at Columbia University!
Hello, New TSC Families!
Welcome to The School at Columbia University. We are very excited to have you and your child join our community this coming school year. As we hope you will quickly sense, The School at Columbia is unique. We are among a small group of schools worldwide with the opportunity to combine a small school community that meets the needs of each individual student, with the astounding resources of a leading university. Our unique connection to Columbia University influences everything from our high academic standards to the spirit of inquiry that fills our classrooms. Our approach to education focuses on concept-based differentiated teaching and the integration of educational technology. We are built around our core values: Collaboration, Community, Diversity, and Innovation. I invite you to explore the meaning of these values in our community, as well as our core purposes and beliefs, on our school website.
I invite you also to explore this online hub for new families, where you will find important information about starting school and key contacts for any questions you may have. You will also find links to information about our robust, thematic and integrated curriculum. Please stay tuned for a communication this summer from our Student Health Office regarding setting up your access to the parent/guardian portal on The School's website, and health forms for the 2021-22 school year. Your child’s class assignment, detailed opening week schedule, and additional start-of-year information will be sent to you in August. Please let Rekha Puri, Director of Admissions and Enrollment, know if you have any questions.
This will by no means be my last communication with families before September, yet I will still take this opportunity to wish you all a safe, well, and restorative summer with your children. I look forward to welcoming you this fall, and to starting what I know will be an exciting, meaningful, and innovative year together.
Sincerely,
Amani Reed
