Columbia Independent School is located in Columbia, Missouri – a city that celebrates educational achievement. We are the home of the main campus of the University of Missouri, Stephens College, Columbia College and several other educational and cultural institutions. Columbia is widely recognized as a major medical community with five hospitals and a wealth of physicians and medical support resources.
Columbia is unusual in that it enjoys remarkable economic stability due to careful city planning, steady growth over the last forty years, and a very favorable mix of leading employers in education, insurance administration and healthcare. Columbia provides more green space for its citizens than most cities of its size and complexity and is the centerpoint of the nationally known Katy Trail. Whether it’s economic prosperity, quality of life or cultural amenities – Columbia is consistently ranked among the best places to live in the nation.
Situated in an educationally rich community, CIS benefits from and contributes to an area of 250,000 people that includes the state capitol, our community and a rich diversity of both rural and urban cities.
