A Program For Every Grade

College Preparation

Columbia Academy's college-preparatory program isn't a single class — it's rigor, counseling, and real pathways woven through every year, from a student's first honors course to their last chapel as a senior.

How We Prepare Every Cougar

Rigor, and a school that knows your name

College preparation at Columbia Academy starts with the same three commitments that guide every classroom: Truth, Learning, and Engagement. Rigorous coursework builds the academic foundation; an 11:1 student–teacher ratio means counseling and course planning stay personal, not generic; and a Christ-centered community keeps character growing right alongside the transcript.

The College-Prep Journey

A four-year path to graduation day

A representative college-preparatory timeline — the exact schedule of counseling milestones is set by the school each year.

1
Freshman Year
Course planning begins, and every student meets the honors and elective options that will shape the years ahead.
2
Sophomore Year
Coursework deepens, study skills sharpen, and students start exploring interests inside and outside the classroom.
3
Junior Year
College and career exploration takes center stage — testing preparation, campus visits, and early conversations about what’s next.
4
Senior Year
Applications, scholarship and financial-aid guidance, and a final semester spent finishing strong and celebrating together.
