CA Vision

Columbia Academy is defined by a culture of academics that prepares students for high school, college, and career through:

• Character building
• Strong relationships
• Rigorous academics

Why character?

“Overcoming adversity is what produces character. And character, even more than IQ, is what leads to real and lasting success. ” (Paul Tough, 2016)

Character

Respect = Give it, Get it Integrity = Do the right thing Strength = Effort is the key Excellence = Do your best Understanding = Be kind Pride = Go Hylanders! Together We Can RISE UP!

Why relationships?

“No significant learning occurs without a significant relationship.” (James Comer)

Relationships

• Community building

activities

• Listening
• Kindness
• Inclusivity
• Restorative practices
• Friendship

Why rigorous academics?

“The bottom line is that today all high school graduates need to be prepared for some postsecondary education and/or training if they are to have options and

• pportunities in the job market.”
