Christopher Columbus Middle School, located on
Piaget Avenue in Clifton, is one of the 2 Middle Schools in the Clifton
School District. CCMS has a long standing tradition of academic
excellence, with a strong focus on building the skills necessary to move
forward in the student’s educational career. All students at CCMS
are members of one of our academic teams: The Nina, The Pinta or the
Santa Maria. These teams are designed to provide the academic support
essential for all students at this critical age of development. As our
students move forward in their educational journey, it is our goal to
enhance their existing knowledge and provide the skills for learning
they can take with them to the High School. We offer an extensive
afterschool tutoring program as well as Saturday Academy, to assist
those students who may need extra help in particular academic areas.
In addition, we offer a variety of clubs that encompass all areas
including academic, athletic and extracurricular. Our students have a
vested interest in their community dedicating many hours to helping
those around them in need.
