At Columbine, we acknowledge that our students come to us whole and it is our collective responsibility to ensure that their genius and brilliance shine. Through our EL model, we cultivate curiosity through authentic learning opportunities that transform our students into arborists, paleontologists, ornithologists, water conservationists, abolitionists, and social justice advocates - just to name a few. Columbine helps students achieve more than they think is possible through hands-on, fun and challenging interdisciplinary learning that weaves mastery of content, high-quality student work, and learning habits. As a neighborhood school, we know that it is our collective effort that will ensure each student at Columbine meets and exceeds their grade-level standards in order to unlock their chosen future. Our children take the LEAP to the Stars by showing Leadership, Empathy, Ambition, and a Positive Mindset throughout our social and academic spaces. At Columbine, we know that belonging is the foundation of growth and we cultivate this for every member of our school community.
