Our school is best known for it's unique character. Students at Columbia are unique and oftentimes express their uniqueness on campus through art-related activities (performance, visual, etc.). At Columbia, no one is considered "odd" or "different." Friendships made outside the classroom oftentimes include people from various socio-economic statuses and social groups. Conversations can easily be started while standing outside of Columbia during class break or while just walking the street. The overrall friendly and unique environment of Columbia seperates it from surrounding schools. At Columbia, you are encouraged to feel comfortable in your own skin.
