My son attended Columbia Academy from 5th grade until Graduation. The teaching staff was always helpful and involved in the students success. My son was not into sports which is a big part of the school but he did participate in the science fairs. He liked all of his teachers but his favorite teacher by far was his math teacher, Mrs. Hitt. She went above and beyond when helping my son and she really "got" him. She admired my sons approach to math and appreciated his "out of the box" way of thinking. Some teachers have a "my way or the highway" approach to their subject but not MS. Hitt. She cared about his individuality. Mr Baxter went above and beyond too. Once giving him a ride home when I had car trouble and my husband was out of town. I'll never forget the kind, fair way Mr Porter helped my son. He was firm but understanding when my son first joined the school and was finding his way. My son is a Electrical Engineer now and achieved his goal in 4 years (it's normally a 5 year degree). I credit Columbia Academy and it's wonderful staff for a great deal of his success. I highly and sincerely recommend this school. read more
