Best part of my experience has definitely been the teachers. I have been at CA for all of my academic career and I can only recount 1-2 "bad" teachers during my time at academy. The help and guidance they give you is extremely valuable.

The ability to explore interests while maintaining a focus on academics is the key to Columbus Academy. However, high-achieving students can sometimes bring a toxic environment of competition between peers and classmates.

Columbus Academy truly is a beloved community. It is one where everyone cares about your well-being and will give you all the support you could ever need. The academics are incredible and truly works to prepare you for your next steps in life. The food is amazing, the faculty are truly so thoughtful and the sports are quite competitive. I wouldn't trade my experience at Academy for the world. It has become a home for every student that walks in its doors.

I attended this school for 13 years and they were some of the best years of my life. Incredible education, incredible campus, awesome teachers that truly care. I’d send my kids here in a heartbeat.

Evil, woke, destructive training and indoctrination of children and attempting to destroy families.

Read the news. As parents suggested in earlier comments here in recent years, CA has become radicalized. Calling the police on parents asking questions, really? The faulty are dangerous to children.

Troublesome staff, not helpful, don't want parents to question anything.
