Private Kindergarten Program

At Columbia Academy, we approach elementary education from a whole-child perspective for diverse learners in grades 1 through 5. We challenge students academically by tapping into their natural curiosity and we support them by embracing their unique learning style.

Kindergarten

In our Honors & Kindergarten program, each child further develops focus, motivation, persistence, and discipline through their work. In this framework of order, the child grows at their own pace and rhythm. At the same time, they find the joys of learning and developing social and intellectual discipline. Our Honors & Kindergarten program sets children up for success in the elementary grades and beyond. This is done by drawing on their concrete base to develop conceptual thinking. Students in our Honors Program are not yet school-age but are ready for more rigorous academics in a full-day program and thrive in a Montessori mixed-age classroom.

First Grade

Our Elementary program seeks to develop higher-order thinking and emphasize conceptual understanding through interdisciplinary learning. With a certified Montessori Elementary teacher and small class sizes, children are challenged to develop critical thought, enhance oral & presentation skills and synthesize information across various subject areas in a personalized and supportive learning environment.
