What sets Columbia Academy apart are our high academic standards combined with the Biblical principles that are central to our mission. CA offers a solid college-preparatory curriculum encompassing the Bible and secular texts – all taught from a Christian worldview.

At every grade level at CA, students are challenged to think critically, analyze the world, flourish and are well prepared for the future.around them and continue in developing their relationship with Christ. As students begin in preschool and navigate through our lower and upper school programs, they are challenged to be seekers of truth and lifelong learners.
