It is my privilege to welcome you to Columbus Classical Academy. We are honored and humbled by your interest in our school and grateful that you have considered entrusting us with the education of your children.
Columbus Classical Academy is a Hillsdale College Curriculum School, utilizing Hillsdale’s world-class and distinctively American, classical curriculum. Our rigorous, integrated, and sequential curriculum is grounded in the liberal arts and sciences and the Western canon. Every child studies literature, mathematics, history, civics, the natural sciences, Latin, the fine arts, physical education, and philosophy.
But CCA is more than just an academic institution. It is also a place of moral formation, where virtue is modeled, practiced, honored, and expected. We maintain that there are objective, moral laws to which all are accountable, and that without knowledge of the good and a desire to pursue it, man can be neither virtuous nor truly free.
As an institution, Columbus Classical Academy is in its second year. But as an idea, as a philosophy of education, as “the real community of man, . . . of the potential knowers,” as Allan Bloom describes it, our school is more than 2,300 years old.
We invite you to join us in the Great Conversation, to partner with us in passing down our incomparable cultural, religious, and political inheritance to the next generation, and to pursue lives of knowledge and virtue together.
Welcome to Columbus Classical Academy. Veritas et Virtus.
