“We feel confident and safe to let our daughter study abroad at CIC.” — Parents of Scarlette Chu, CIC ’27

Since joining Columbia International College in August 2025, Scarlette has received multiple Character Award nominations in recognition of her outstanding character and exemplary presence among her peers.

Studying abroad is a big step for any family, but watching her feel supported in every part of her life – academically, socially, emotionally, and physically – has brought them so much reassurance.

Scarlette’s parents can’t hide the pride and happiness when they talk about her first year at CIC.

We are thrilled that CIC’s Academic, Social, Emotional, and Physical (ASEP) approach has supported Scarlette in forming meaningful friendships, exploring new interests, and growing into a confident, well‑rounded young person.
