Pre-Kindergarten | 4-Year-Olds

OPENING EYES to the
WONDER of KNOWLEDGE

Pre-K

We are delighted to share that beginning in the 2026-2027 academic year, Columbus Classical Academy will welcome our youngest scholars into a 5-day, full-day Pre­-Kindergarten program.

The Hillsdale College Preschool Program Guide is designed to give children a joyful first step into classical education-introducing them to the rhythms of ordered learning, wonder, and friendship in a nurturing environment while exploring seven curricular areas: physical development, cognition, language/alphabet, construction, sensory perception, social development, and character development featuring a combination of teacher­-directed instruction and free play.

Program Highlights

  • For children who are 4 years old by September 1, 2026 and potty-trained
  • Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m.-3:10 p.m., beginning September 1, 2026
  • A small, close-knit classroom of 16 students, guided by a teacher and classroom aide
  • Pre-K students will enjoy the same rich, truth-filled environment that defines every classroom at CCA
  • Please note: aftercare will not be available for Pre-K

Tuition & Enrollment

  • Tuition will be set at 80% of the kindergarten tuition rate (final tuition rates announced in January 2026)
  • Tuition assistance is not available for Pre-K
  • Applications open October 1, 2025

We look forward to welcoming our youngest scholars and their families into the joy of a classical education rooted in truth, beauty, and goodness.
