The Columbus High School Liberal Arts College Preparatory Magnet offers students the opportunity to pursue a strong college preparatory program through an interdisciplinary curriculum.  Based on the Liberal Arts model, students will explore multiple diverse academic areas that will prepare them to think critically, collaborate, be creative, and examine concepts from multiple lenses.  This holistic approach encourages academic exploration, real world connections, and allows students to create their own individualized path.  Classes are designed to challenge each student intellectually while teaching time management strategies and other important soft skills. In addition to the advanced academic curriculum, students are encouraged to develop leadership qualities through extracurricular activities, physical fitness through athletic participation, community and cultural awareness through field trips and community service initiatives, and social skills by participating in planned social events. The Columbus High School Liberal Arts graduate is a well-rounded, young adult ready to excel in college and beyond.
