South Columbus Elementary is organized for the purpose of educating young people for a satisfying and productive life.  The challenge of the school is to recognize each student as an individual and to help the student develop a feeling of self-worth.  Education should stimulate the student to develop those attitudes, skills, ideals and appreciations which help him/her to become a useful and knowledgeable citizen.  The school affirms high moral and ethical standards.
