Welcome to Columbus School for Girls

Columbus School for Girls has been a vibrant educational presence in central Ohio since its founding in 1898. Its mission has always been to prepare young women for college and beyond, and the focus on academic excellence, leadership development, and civic participation has been unwavering.  

Our recent graduates continue to comment on the skills and preparedness they gained from their years at Columbus School for Girls (CSG). They are articulate, well-rounded, and inquisitive in their approach to life beyond the walls of CSG. They fondly recall the strong teacher relationships that supported them as they took risks, helped them to be resilient when faced with a challenge, and demonstrated to them the importance of finding their authentic voice and passions in the world around them.  

We are pleased that you are interested in taking a closer look at CSG for your own daughter and look forward to working with you through the Admission process.   All our students have tremendous opportunities in academics and extracurricular activities that are designed specifically for girls in science, technology, engineering, and math, as well as humanities, and the arts.

We invite you to see for yourself all that CSG has to offer your daughter and encourage you to call the Admission Office (614-252-0781) or submit a web inquiry to have Admission literature sent to you or to set up a personal appointment.
