Columbia Academy for Learning and Enrichment (CALE) offers grades JK-12th. We offer grades JK (age 4)-6, with plans to expand to grades 7-8.

We believe in a student-centered approach to teaching and learning while also caring for the mind and body. Kindergarten is offered as a full or half-day option. We intentionally keep our class sizes small and place a strong emphasis on our positive and collaborative culture. All CALE students will thrive in an environment that sculpts a love of self, others, and the community at large.

๐Ÿ˜ŽSummer is meant for fun, but for many students, a few months away from learning can make the transition back to school more challenging.

A little support now can help your child start the school year feeling confident and prepared.

In her latest Substack, our founder Jill Dunlap Brown pulls back the curtain on the "uncomfortable" but beautiful process of building a school without a blueprint. Weโ€™ve adjusted, recalibrated, and grown every single year to ensure our students are seen, supported, and challenged.

We aren't just building a school; weโ€™re building a community where growth is measured by a childโ€™s own trajectory.

A CALE parent shared what school used to look like for their daughter โ€” frustration, anxiety, exhaustionโ€ฆ and a child who worked twice as hard just to feel like she was falling behind.

School wasnโ€™t a place of joy. It was a daily struggle.

Then everything changed.

At CALE, she was met with patience, understanding, and a community that truly saw her. She learned in a way that made sense for her. She felt safe. Supported. Capable.

In just a few monthsโ€ฆ
โœจ She found confidence
โœจ She began to thrive academically
โœจ She no longer needed anxiety or depression medication
โœจ She started to believe: โ€œI am smart.โ€

Today, sheโ€™s growing, learning, and walking in the door with a smile and likes school.

This is more than education.
This is transformation.

And there are more students in our community who need this kind of environmentโ€”but access matters.

โœจ Thatโ€™s why the CALE Impact Foundation was created.

Join us for our inaugural gala:
๐ŸŒŸ A Night Among the Stars
๐Ÿ“… May 7, 2026
โฐ 6:00 PM

An evening of connection, student art, live music, and purposeโ€”
all to expand opportunities for students who deserve to thrive.

When you attend, youโ€™re not just coming to an event.
Youโ€™re helping change a childโ€™s story.
