Columbia Academy for Learning and Enrichment

Columbia Academy for Learning and Enrichment 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.

- Sometimes you notice your child isn't being challenged.
- Sometimes they're losing confidence.
- Sometimes they simply don't love learning anymore.

If you've had that feeling that something could be different, it's worth exploring.

At CALE, we partner with families to create an educational experience where students are known, challenged, encouraged, and celebrated.

Your questions are welcome.

But if you've been wondering whether your child's current school is the right fit, now is the perfect time to explore your optionsโ€”without the back-to-school rush.

At CALE, we know every child learns differently. Our JKโ€“12 multi-age classrooms meet students where they are, helping them build confidence, curiosity, and a love of learning.

We are incredibly grateful for the families who have trusted us over the past five yearsโ€”and we're honored to welcome this family back to the CALE community.
