Columbia’s unique JMS programming focuses on developing well-rounded young adults by evaluating students on their ability to communicate, understand, and apply the knowledge and concepts learned in class. Students are also taught the importance of becoming responsible Global Citizens by participating in the many character focused projects that are incorporated into their academic and extracurricular activities.
