Columbia Academy is a private school for pre-kindergarten through 6th grade students. We offer small classes, fully individualized programs and a proven curriculum. Our dedicated and inspired staff teaches integrity as well as academics, in a warm and stimulating environment the students truly love. Columbia Academy occupies the lower level of the Emmanuel Presbyterian Church building in beautiful West Linn, Oregon. Sunlit classrooms border a landscaped play yard large enough to accommodate ball games, water play, and our annual Field Day events. An adjacent yard provides a fenced play structure under huge shade trees. There are several nearby parks to visit, including Mary S. Young, which borders the Willamette River and offers miles of forested trails and full-size soccer fields.
Since 1983, we have served Portland area families seeking the ideal place for their children to learn and grow.

Our family has been very pleased with our daughter's education. Upon moving here from Florida our daughter was enrolled at a Private Catholic School which prepared her well for this school. What impressed us from the start Columbia was willing to test and place our daughter within the grade she placed regardless or her age. Within her first six month's of attending Columbia Academy our daughter passed Kindergraten at the age of 5. Now she is in First Grade loving all the daily challenges. Besides all of the academic achievements she has really enjoyed all the extra events. At least once a month her class has fieldtrips. The fieldtrips are normally related to the study of the month. We also like the fact that the classroom size is small, which gives the students more one on one time with there teachers. We would strongly recommend that your family come visit Columbia Academy.

Columbia Academy has been able to offer many things to my family that no other school has. My son is in the 3rd grade. He has read well over 700 books since he started this program and is 6 years old. My daughter also attends the school. She just turned 5 and reads to me everyday. Most schools just look at a child’s age and place them accordingly into a grade level for that age group, instead of letting kids go at their own pace. I love that my kids are only held to the standards of themselves and not grouped by age, but by skill level in each subject. It’s not just the academics though; one of the best things I find about this school is the ethics. The kids are so well-behaved and all have such a sense of pride about helping one another. Whenever something happens to my son like falling in the mud, I never hear of another child making fun of him, but instead how they help him to the restroom with a fresh set of clothes to change into. The amount of comfort and joy that Columbia Academy gives not only to my son and daughter but to my family as well is truly beyond words.

Columbia Academy is an excellent school. Children are challenged and have fun in the process of learning. I have never dealt with teachers who sincerely love and care about their students the way the teachers at Columbia Academy do. This is my son's 4th year at Columbia and putting him there was the best decision I ever made. My daughter attended for two years and the work she did wihout a doubt prepared her for the middle school she currently attends. Columbia's approach to teaching inspires children to love school and love learning.

Columbia Academy provides a wonderfully stimulating, nurturing, learning environment where kids really thrive. The school offers a very low student to teacher ratio. The teachers are extraordinarily dedicated to creating an energetic and enthusiastic class room that helps all of the students excel and reach their highest potential. The students foster a love of learning inside and outside of the class room. When my child wanted to attend Winter Workshop at Columbia Academy (an extension of school offered over the holiday vacation), rather than enjoy the holiday vacation at home with her family, we knew we had found an exceptional school for her.
