Why an All-Male Learning Environment?

We Teach To Boys' Strengths

When selecting a school for your son, it’s essential to consider the unique advantages an all-boys Catholic school like Christopher Columbus High School can provide. While it’s common to think that ‘no girls’ means fewer distractions, research shows that the benefits of an all-boys education extend far beyond that. An all-boys environment creates a space where students can focus on personal growth without the social pressures often associated with coeducational settings. It encourages young men to excel academically, engage in healthy competition, and participate actively in extracurricular activities. This setting also allows boys to develop confidence, leadership skills, and camaraderie in a supportive community designed specifically for their needs.

Alumni Feedback

Columbus taught me to take on the world and prepared me for life's journey. It taught me spiritual and social values. It prepared me academically to master a career. I believe Columbus was key in molding who I am as a husband, father, businessman and citizen. My closest friends all came from there and all who graduate CCHS share a common bond and pride to call one another Columbus brothers. ADELANTE!

Columbus has shown me what a sense of community is, not only while roaming the halls of the school but it continues to resonate in my daily life. The brothers, faculty and staff at the school have given so much for the students, and their hard work and dedication continue to model tomorrows leaders. The brotherhood and fraternity we share is often replicated, but can never be duplicated.
