The school was originally known as ''The Grammar School of King's College'' (relating to the former name of Columbia University), changing its name during the American Revolution to ''Columbia Grammar School'', adding ''preparatory'' in 1978 . While ''grammar'' and ''preparatory'' have differing connotations, the entire school is known by its full name. The school has existed in several locations over the centuries. In 1906 , the school moved to its current location on 93rd Street, off Central Park West . It originally consisted of one building, adding five Brownstone s through the merger of the adjacent ''Leonard School for Girls'' in 1950 . A building across the street was built in 1984 , followed by two more in 1997 and 2001 . In the past 10 years, the average size of the graduating class has more than doubled from approximately 45 to approximately 100. SELECTED GRADUATES
