Music class is offered one day per week for all students in Pk-8th grade. Each class has the opportunity to perform in a Christmas program and a Talent Show every year. The primary focus of class is to teach our students to appreciate, participate in, and read music. Tools utilized in this process are solfege, liturgical music, interactive websites and simple instruments. Students grades 3-8 are prepared each week to serve as lectors and cantors in our weekly Friday mass. The class serving that week selects music by listening to the readings for that day and picking songs that best reflect those readings.  

Every student from PreK through Grade 8 has at least one library class per week. Following the Diocesean curriculum, students progress through reading and research experiences while learning the ins and outs of our 6,000-volume, remodeled and expanded school library which includes eBooks and Chromebook laptops. The goals of this special program include developing listening and reading skills as well as addressing emerging curiosity and research skills. Our library is open before school, during recess, and after school for a variety of learning opportunities. 

Bloomsburg Theatre Ensemble and Saint Columba School are pairing to bring your child the opportunity to become a star! Drama Club is hosted by BTE's Education Director, Amy Rene Byrne, and takes place on Thursday afternoons each semester. Each term culminates in a short live performance by the students to showcase what they have learned about vocal and kinesthetic awareness as well projection and stage presence.
