Welcome to Columbia Academy!

Welcome to Columbia Academy - serving grades six through eight - where we immerse our students in a caring community and challenging curriculum. We seek to instill, in our students, a strong belief in themselves and their ability to be successful in school and in life through sustained effort. We seek to develop the whole child through rigorous academics and an array of opportunities in the arts, as well as through addressing the social and emotional well being of each student.
