The School at Columbia University

We had an absolutely gorgeous day for Field Day 2026! Teams Navy and Sky had a great time challenging themselves, cheering each other on, and celebrating the school year together. We love heading up to CU Baker Field for our Field Day every year. It's such a special treat for our school. Thank you to our fabulous Wellness Team, and all teachers, staff and students, for a fun and fantastic Field Day 2026! Let’s go, TSC! 🦁 💙

🐠🐠 Kindergarteners made a splash during their iBlocks at Asphalt Green Aquatic Center! Through swimming readiness lessons, students were able to build confidence in the water while learning important lifelong skills including water safety, floating, swim strokes and more. 🐠🐠

A wonderful celebration of creativity and collaboration for Gr. 3! Following their visit to Layer the Wall Part I at Abrons Arts Center students connected their learning about immigration in NYC through writing and artwork—earning the Class Size Winner Prize in Grand Pistachio’s post-performance contest. 👏💙👏

A joyful day at Carnegie Hallfor Kindergarten and Gr. 3! Kindergarten students participated in the Musical Explorers experience, celebrating music and movement from around the world through song and dance. Meanwhile, third graders brought wonderful energy to the performance space as they played recorders, listened and engaged alongside the larger audience.

Grade 8 is officially D.C. bound! TSC Alums, drop a 💙 if you remember your D.C. trip!

A longstanding TSC tradition, the annual Washington, D.C. trip brings students beyond the classroom to deepen their exploration of social justice, resistance and reflection through shared experiences across the city. Just as importantly, the trip creates space for connection, laughter and memories that many alums still talk about years later.

🐣🐥 After weeks of caring for baby chicks in the classroom, Grade 1 students visited Snow Hill Farm to bring them to their new home. Alongside exploring the farm and learning about sustainable farming practices, students reflected on themes of Connection and Change through this hands-on experience in caring for living things.

Bye-bye baby chicks!

Kindergarten students recently welcomed a very special guest author and illustrator, our very own Middle Division Art Teacher, Qing Zhuang! During her visit, she shared her book "Rainbow Shopping" and spoke about the journey from childhood memories and poetry to published storybook. Students asked insightful questions throughout the visit, inspiring conversations about creativity, storytelling and how authors can begin at any age, perfectly aligned to their Personal Narratives unit.

Thank you, Ms. Zhuang, for visiting the kindergarten classroom!

Build, Code, Compete! After School's newest addition, Middle Division LEGO League Team, proudly represented TSC at the annual Robo-Expo hosted by The Brearley School this past weekend! Students had a chance to practice their robotics during The Challengers portion of the day completing sensor-based autonomous challenges as well as showcase and view original work in an Exhibit Hall. We are so proud of our students, go team!

Fourth graders had a special field trip to The National Society of The Colonial Dames of America where they experienced colonial daily life in New Amsterdam and early New York. They had the opportunity to tour the museum, try on colonial costumes and dance a minuet!
