At Columbia Academy, academic excellence is only part of the story. Alongside a rigorous educational program, we integrate meditation into the school day—three times daily—providing students with intentional moments to pause, reflect, and recentre. Our staff, trained yearly by a Buddhist meditation master, guide students in this practice. Student meditation supports emotional wellbeing, enhances focus, and fosters personal growth, creating a balanced environment where students can thrive both intellectually and personally.
At our school, we encourage students to actively participate in charity activities:
Through these charity activities, our students learn to show care for others and actively engage in community service. We are dedicated to nurturing our students’ sense of social responsibility and awareness of public welfare, aiming to foster them into compassionate and responsible members of society.
Over the past decade CA has been an active donor to organizations such as St. Paul’s Foundation, The Terry Fox Foundation, Environmental Youth Alliance, Canadian Red Cross and Royal Canadian Legion Poppy Appeal.
Our homeroom teachers actively encourage students to participate in a range of national competitions in English and Math. The CA Competition Fund was set up specifically to reward our students who rank in the top 5 entries across the province.
We invite you to be part of our family! We communicate regularly with parents via teacher newsletters, learning updates on ‘Seesaw’, volunteer opportunities, parents evenings and events.
At Columbia Academy our goal is to maintain classes led by caring teachers and no more than 15 students.
Columbia Academy offers Kindergarten to Grade 12 programming, proudly accredited by the BC Ministry of Education. Our mission is to prepare students for acceptance into the world’s top universities while fostering the development of well-rounded individuals equipped to become tomorrow’s leaders
