Founded in 1979, CA provides students in grades PreK-12 a challenging college prep education from a nondenominational Christian perspective.
Steeped in history and tradition, Columbia Academy covers 67 beautiful acres in the heart of Columbia, Tennessee, a community located approximately 45 minutes south of Nashville. Adding a new chapter to our history, Columbia Academy added the Spring Hill satellite campus for elementary grades in 2010, which provides the same educational experience parents have come to expect from CA.
Since its inception 1979, Columbia Academy has been providing a challenging, yet Christ-centered college preparatory education for students from pre-school to 12th grade. Although many private and public schools also offer a rewarding education, we believe that the difference at CA lies in its people.
Our dedicated faculty and staff are made up of highly qualified, Christian men and women who love children and give many extra hours to provide them with the instruction and guidance they need.
Our families are involved and active in our school programs and in the lives of their children providing a presence that is essential to forming young men and women of character and discipline.
Our students are many things - unique, confident, artistic, athletic, generous, kind, driven, creative, intelligent and resourceful. It is a blessing to watch them grow physically, intellectually and spiritually every day.
Columbia Academy has been accredited by AdvancED (formerly SACS) since 1979. Close to 950 students are enrolled at Columbia Academy from PreK-12th grade.
At Columbia Academy, we work to prepare students for academic and career success, but above all, we work to prepare them for eternity. We believe that young men and women who possess knowledge, confidence and strength of character will become shining examples for Christ in their communities.
Columbia Academy Mission Statement: Columbia Academy is committed to serving its students so they master skills, knowledge, and character appropriate for them and their future while becoming Christlike in attitude and behavior.
