Education costs are rising nationwide for public schools and private schools. This fact is no different at Columbia Academy. As our expenses increase, we know that many families are struggling with similar economic realities of our times. That’s why we have worked so diligently to keep our costs lower than the average private school tuition while still maintaining advanced technology and challenging and diverse opportunities for our students. We believe that we are the best educational value in the state of Tennessee – find out for yourself, but we think you’ll agree.
