Dear Friends,

Welcome to Saint Columbkille School!

At Saint Columbkille School, a National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence, we understand that selecting the right school for your child involves a thoughtful decision.  We believe that SCS offers a choice that is second to none and we look forward to sharing our vision with you.

With a tradition of excellence in service, scholarship, and spirit in Catholic education for over 60 years, Saint Columbkille School offers students an opportunity to grow and thrive in a nurturing, faith-based, and values driven community. Our students are inspired to expand their intellect, build strong moral character and develop a thirst for life-long learning. SCS provides a rigorous academic program developing strong communication skills, problem-solving, and critical thinking — essential skills for any learner in the 21^st century. Each student at Saint Columbkille School has the opportunity to expand his/her learning and interests outside of the classroom with any number of clubs, extracurricular activities, and CYO Sports.

Upon graduation from Saint Columbkille School, more than 95% of our graduates continue on to area Catholic high schools; St. Ignatius High School, Padua-Franciscan High School, Holy Name High School, and many more.

At SCS, in addition to academic excellence, our Catholic identity is paramount. We offer numerous opportunities, from prayer and the sacraments, to service projects and retreats, for students to encounter Jesus Christ in a real and personal way.  As members of a vibrant community, your child will come to discover his/her unique gifts and learn to use these gifts for personal success, to help others at school, and to serve those in need in the broader community. When our students graduate from Saint Columbkille School, our students continue to make us proud and continue the tradition of excellence for which Saint Columbkille School is known.

I invite you to come and visit us at Saint Columbkille School!

Discover the SCS Advantage!

Yours in Catholic Education,

Matthew Tolar
Interim Principal
