There isn't a school on earth that is perfect and Columbia Academy is no exception. But we found it to be a wonderful school with caring teachers that nurtured and supported our children. I don't have any hidden agenda for giving a good review, just our experience as a family. I always felt that they were in a safe environment with a Christian family atmosphere, where sharing your faith and praying openly is the norm. Supporting what we were teaching at home about God and His love for them was PRICELESS. The academics are strong and they were definitely prepared for college. Columbia Academy WILL help your child succeed.

Performance aside, this is a school that should be an example of how well schools can work when faculty, parents, and community collaborate to reach a common goal of giving our children a well rounded education. All the props though really belong to the faculty here, they are tireless in their dedication and every one of them approachable and eager to work with you. Curriculum is built around language and reading. Children visit the Libra each day to check out books. They will also be receiving 30 minutes of Spanish instruction each day and will be amazingly fluent within their 5 year tenure at the school. Beyond that, the vibe is everything you hope and expect to find in East Nashville; friendly, open, diverse. Heck, you know your at a school in East Nashville when there is a hemp tattoo booth at your spring storytelling fundraiser!
