At St Columba's College in St Albans, Hertfordshire, we provide an education of the 'Head and Heart' throughout the Prep School, Senior School and Sixth Form. For a Columban, being the best that they can be means not only achieving academically but also becoming a confident, resilient and compassionate young person who is prepared to make their way in the world. We teach our students from 4 - 18 to understand and embrace our values of Courage, Courtesy and Compassion, which are the cornerstone of a Columban education.
