What makes CA unique?

Columbia Academy is a dynamic place for students in grades six through eight to learn. We have a diverse student population from all over the world and seek to develop the whole child through academics, arts and enrichment. We are not your average neighborhood public school; We focus on creativity, communication, collaboration and critical thinking through our emphasis on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math). Our educators challenge every student individually with a rigorous array of classes that prepare them for high school, college and careers.

We are proud to be Hylanders and know your students will be too!

Get Involved

We believe the best way to educate our students is to have families, the community and staff collaborating together. As parents, you can help not only your students, but our entire school by getting involved in our PTO.

We also have a great parents volunteering group.
