  • Shop the Upper School Book Fair (courtesy of Gramercy Books) Please remember to enter “Columbus Academy” in the memo section at checkout and select “in-store delivery” to avoid shipping fees. Books purchased online in advance will be delivered to the Upper School Book Fair for pickup.

Everyone is welcome to shop! Regardless of your child’s grade level, you are invited to shop at either online store. We also encourage parents/guardians to buy books for themselves! Every purchase supports classroom reading programs and library upgrades—enhancing student learning, sparking imagination, and broadening perspectives on the diverse world around us.
