Allendale Columbia School

My children started in 4th grade and i wish I would have started them sooner. I'm very happy with the school, the teachers and my children are thriving.

My daughter has been at Allendale since kindergarten and LOVES it!! I have high expectations and Allendale has not only met but exceeded every one of them. I couldn't be more pleased with the quality well rounded education my daughter is receiving. I looked at other private schools in the area and am happy with our choice.

My son attends Nursery School here and absolutely loves the school and his teachers! He gets specialized instruction by 5 other teachers including iPad instruction, music, art, library, and PE. There is no better education in the Rochester area in my opinion...and I looked.

My son attended Allendale Columbia for 3 years N-K and my husband and I feel he received an outstanding education in the time that he was there. We were very sad to leave and hope some day to be back. The faculty is amazing!!!

We have a son in Kindergarten at Allendale Columbia. It was our hope that when we sent our child to Allendale Columbia, he would be nurtured, safe, and that we would be respected as parents by the faculty as part of the educational process. Communication was important to us, as we felt that the tuition warranted our high expectations. That being said, Allendale Columbia has delivered. We have been amazed by the individualized attention. What my child has brought home in regard to his artwork has been more than impressive. Their focus on the whole child has been exactly what we were looking for.

My husband and I are the parents of the third graders. We cannot be more pleased with the quality of education and the individualized education. Affording this education is a struggle for us, but well worth any sacrifice we need to make. Our child is challenged academically, pushed to his limits, yet all the while, helped along and support in every way. I highly recommend this school if you are looking for a close knit community of supportive faculty, staff, parents, and students. Under new leadership, this school is well worth the cost.

Terrible education for the price one has to pay. I would recommend saving your money for college tuition rather than blowing it on this very mediocre school.

My son attended both the Pittsford public elementary school and Allendale Columbia. I found Allendale Columbia to be superior. The teachers are outstanding and I believe, the jewel of the school. Teacher communication is excellent. The academics are challenging and interesting. My son would have remained at Allendale Columbia through high school, but we have moved overseas to Germany. My son was able to gain acceptance at a top rated German school and his current school academics are in line with where he left off at Allendale Columbia. HIGHLY RECOMMEND AND WORTH THE INVESTMENT!!!

My children spent seven years at Allendale and it was a wonderful experience for our family. The children will truly miss attending this year, but we were not financially able to continue there education there. Wonderful program, I believe my children will take there learning experience wherever they go.

I am a 11th grade student at Allendale, this is my first year there. I can honestly say I have never been happier anywhere. The teachers are off-the-charts incredible, extremely smart but also fun and devoted. Everyone is really nice here, there is no peer pressure or exclusivism. The dress code has almost no impact and is actually really nice because you don't have to try and dress cool all the time. Everyone is so smart and so awesome, and everybody, students and faculty alike, seem really happy here. i could not recommend this place more, it has changed my life.
