What Parents Say
“We chose St Columba’s because there is no other school like it locally, or indeed, in Glasgow.
The campus is beautiful and the school is an educational gem, nestled away in the very desirable, safe, calm and rural town of Kilmacolm. At St Columba’s, every child is an individual, not just ‘another Primary 4 child’ (as is the case for our son). He is not just ‘one of many’ and has really flourished here in a way that I really did not expect!
The leafy Junior School site is beautiful, his teachers are both awesome and awe-inspiring, there are lots of chances to play sport, to learn new things in extracurricular clubs and take up a musical instrument of his choice. These, and many other opportunities, are truly inspiring to someone so young – he feels like he can achieve anything which was certainly not the case when I was at school.
I have no doubt that my son will continue to grasp every opportunity to learn and grow at St Columba’s – I wish I could go back and do it all again myself!”
