St. Columban School staffs 16 teachers aides to assist the teachers throughout the week.  The Pre-K has an aide in each room all day every day to support the teacher and students providing a 10:1 teacher to student ratio in the PK classrooms.

​

The Kindergarten classrooms have an aide 5 days a week whose time is shared among the two rooms.  Their daily assistance creates the 17:1 teacher-student ratio in the Kindergarten classrooms.

 

The remaining school aides time is divided among grades 1-8.   The younger classrooms receive more time from the instructional assistants as the students needs are greater.   As the students grow and mature less assistance is needed in the upper classrooms.
