Columbus School for Girls (CSG) is a private, all-girls college-preparatory day school located in Bexley, Ohio, USA, an enclave of Columbus. It is the only all-girls high school in Franklin County. ==History== * In 1898, Mary Bole Scott and Florence Kelley established Columbus School for Girls. The school was designed to replace the traditional "finishing school" for young women by adopting a solid college preparatory educational program. * In 1904, Miss Alice Gladden and Miss Grace Latimer Jones succeeded Miss Scott and Miss Kelley. Miss Gladden founded the traditional services, which are still a part of the school’s traditions today. Miss Jones strengthened the concept of an academically demanding education for girls and expanded the college preparatory curriculum. While the disciplines of English, mathematics, and foreign languages were stressed, Columbus School for Girls also included the disciplines of theater, music, and fine art. * In 1927, the School was incorporated as a nonprofit institution. * In 1957, headmaster Dr. Arleigh D. Richardson III instituted a policy of open admissions, loathing the national practice of segregation that existed in most independent schools across the country. * In 1966, under Headmaster John V. Chapman’s guidance, the school expanded its enrollment and began a building program. * In 1969, ground was broken for a large addition on the Bexley site. The facilities, including a lower school, library, gymnasium with pool and locker room, fine arts complex, and theater-in-the-round were completed in 1970. * In 1985, headmistress Patricia T. Hayot, Ph.D., promoted an interdisciplinary style of learning and guided CSG's decision to remain firmly committed to single-sex education. During her 18-year tenure, the School grew from one to three campuses, comprising more than 180 acres. The 10-acre main campus in Bexley houses the academic and administrative buildings, including the original Columbia Avenue mansion. The Kirk Campus, a 70-acre athletic facility is nearby. The third campus, Cynthia's Woods, consists of nearly 100 acres of environmentally protected woodland. * In 2003, headmistress Diane B. Cooper was appointed. During her tenure, plans were made to renovate and expand the Bexley campus. * In 2009, Ms. Elizabeth (Liza) Lee assumed leadership in July 2009. She realized the renovation plans as part of the Landmark Campaign. * In 2012, a new Wellness and Athletics Complex opened, adding a new 8-lane pool and fitness center. Major renovations included the dining room and commons. * In 2014, Jennifer M. Ciccarelli was appointed as the 13th Head of School on July 1. * In 2015, the new Agnes Jeffrey Shedd Theater, a 400-seat performing arts center, was dedicated. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Columbus School for Girls」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
