Allendale Columbia School is an independent, nonsectarian, college preparatory school for students in nursery through twelfth grade in Rochester, New York, USA. The Columbia School for girls, established in 1890 by Caroline Milliman and Alida Lattimore, and the Allendale School for boys, established in 1926 by a group of Rochester businessmen, merged in 1972 to form the current co-educational school. Allendale Columbia students come from 28 different school districts in the greater Rochester, New York region, as well as from 10 different countries. (International students live in two houses on campus.). The school was named by Worth magazine as of one the top 100 feeder schools to Ivy League Universities.
Allendale Columbia has fifty-four teachers. Thirty-nine of the faculty hold advanced degrees with an average teaching experience of 18 years.
Allendale Columbia School is on over 30 acres (12 ha) in Pittsford, New York that stretches to Oak Hill County Club. The school is separated into three divisions: Lower School, Middle School and Upper School. While these divisions each have their own area on campus, they share many areas including a 500-seat performance center, library, dining commons for locally sourced lunches, athletic, music and arts facilities. The students change buildings for various classes and utilize the entire campus throughout their day.
The main buildings house 41 classrooms, five science laboratories, nine computer laboratories (three classroom and six mobile), three music classrooms, two art studios, a darkroom, a digital photography laboratory, a foreign language laboratory, a library, a performance center, two gymnasia and a science wing.
In 2012, the school opened residences for foreign students and it hosts 25-35 international students from as many as 15 different countries and four continents.
In 2013, students began organizing and hosting an annual TEDx conference on campus, as an independently organized TED event.
In 2014, Allendale Columbia School created a summerLEAP partnership with School 17 of the Rochester City School District to provide summer enrichment programs for RCSD students.
