Our School

Harambee is a private Pre K - 8 school located in Columbus' South Linden neighborhood. We emphasize academic excellence while providing holistic support that empowers the whole student.

Key Distinctives

Tuition at No Cost

Like God's grace, the opportunity to attend Harambee is a free gift. We partner with the broader Christian Community to provide the Harambee opportunity at no cost.

Year-Round School Calendar

Studies show the year-round school calendar helps curb Summer learning loss and can reduce the achievement gap experienced in students from economically-disadvantaged communities.

Holistic Family-Focused Ministry

We exist to provide holistic support to families that empowers growth in connection with the body of Christ throughout Columbus.

Mission & Vision

Columbus, Ohio has the eighth largest gap of metropolitan cities in the U.S. regarding the difference between the highest and lowest opportunity neighborhoods. We exist to eliminate this achievement gap and set students up for all-of-life success.
