Recognized as one of the best independent schools in the nation, Columbus Academy has, since its founding in 1911, exemplified the country day school educational model. The heart of this model is the idea that the best interests of children are served when home and school work together. At Columbus Academy, parents are integral members of our community.
In our welcoming school, fully dedicated to the development of young scholars, athletes and artists of every kind, parents find what they are looking for: The school to trust with childhood. We believe that diversity, inclusion, equity and justice are essential measures of our excellence. Our goal is not to mold young minds but to light them on fire.
