The Class Forum is an established Allendale Columbia School tradition introduced by the headmistress of the Columbia school, Mrs. Della Simpson, in 1946 to help students practice making arguments about current issues and to give the school community the opportunity to have a civil discussion about sensitive topics.
At AC, we proudly honor and celebrate the diversity of our community, embracing people from all backgrounds and traditions. This special event, hosted by our Center for Global Engagement, promotes inclusivity by bringing together students and their families for a potluck-style meal and cultural celebration.
The evening will feature engaging conversations, performances, and, of course, a wide array of delicious dishes! We’re excited to see the recipes you’ll bring and to celebrate the richness of our diverse cultures and heritages together.
A more than 35 year tradition, Grades Kindergarten through Fifth Grade will a morning of celebration with their grandparent(s) or special friend. The day includes classroom visits, activities in the classroom, lunch, music, and a visit from a very loyal and special friend, Wolfie.
At Allendale Columbia, we prepare students for the world they will inherit. In our trusting and responsive environment, students 18 months through grade 12 grow in confidence and develop scholastic independence.
