Arts & Music

At a time in American life when the cultivation of artistic talent in secondary schools is waning, The Columbus Academy has not wavered in its commitment to providing a holistic education to students. So while budgetary constraints and standardized tests have beleaguered its public counterparts into deemphasizing the arts in curricular development, the Academy has forged ahead with comprehensive courses and extracurricular opportunities that have an impressive track record of launching careers in theater, in singing and songwriting, in photography and in the fine arts. This success stems from a broad curriculum across the school's three divisions that allows students the opportunity to explore their own artistic endeavors.
