"Columbia Academy is the only K–12 independent school in downtown Vancouver, accredited by the BC Ministry of Education. With two campuses, we prepare students for top universities—100% of graduates attend university, over 90% at top 50 globally ranked schools. We are an AP-certified school and official testing centre, ranked top 5 in BC for Canadian Lynx and Canadian Open Math Competitions. We also offer 40+ volunteer and charity events each year."
"Columbia Academy differentiates itself as a private K–12 school in Downtown Vancouver by combining structured academics with strong character development. We maintain consistent homework and guided reading across all grade levels to build discipline, responsibility, and independent learning skills. As an AP-certified private high school in Vancouver and official testing centre, we provide clear pathways to university success, reflected in our 100% university acceptance rate and over 90% of graduates admitted to top 50 global institutions. Our small class sizes and supportive environment ensure that students receive personalized attention from elementary through graduation."
"At Columbia Academy we focus on the 'Five Elements', they are at the heart of everything that we do: Academics, Competitions, Volunteering, Charities and Clubs. Consequently, we steer clear of current social trends within our classroom and focus on delivering a strong educational foundation while also supporting the social and emotional development of each child."

"Students who aspire to reach their potential, go beyond what they expect of themselves, work hard and show discipline will get the most out of their education at Columbia Academy. We also prefer our students to be of an altruistic mindset: giving back to the school's local community and taking part in selfless acts of service for charity."
"Whilst we aim to be understanding of all student needs, we have strict homework/assignment and attendance policies that some families may not appreciate. One of the founding principles of the school was to have our students give back to their local community through charitable works and donating their time."
"When families choose our school they do so knowing that we provide students the tools to 'finish the job': 90% of our graduates go onto the world's top 50 universities. None of our students 'coast' and are pushed to achieve their absolutte best by our staff."
"100% university acceptance, 90% enter the global top 50 universities. We also have consistent top 5 rankings in BC for Canadian National Math Contests. We focus on our 'five pillars': academics, volunteering, charity, competitions and clubs. Columbia Academy has 40+ charity, performance and volunteer events yearly. Lastly, we are home to students from over 20 countries around the world."
"The Columbia Academy is an active donor to a number of local and national charities. We also organize multiple charity events to allow our students to engage with local good causes. We also do particularly well in national mathematics competitions at all levels."
"Families might expect the school to be extremely rigid and 'serious', given its emphasis on academics and homework. We ensure that there is a healthy balance between 'work and play': students have the opportunity to take part in ski trips, a cruise, international culture days, cycling in Stanley Park, many music performances, tours of BC Place to name a few."
"Columbia Academy has recently expanded to two campuses in downtown Vancouver. The Elementary (Yaletown) Campus is located next to BC Place whilst the High School (Waterfront) Campus is located in the heart of downtown close to Coal Harbour. Between the two campuses we now have a dedicated music classroom, arts room, multiple purpose activity room, computer lab, science lab, a gym, and a library for both schools"
"At Columbia Academy, we envision a future shaped by growth, innovation, and a deepened commitment to excellence in education. Guided by our core mission—to cultivate globally minded, compassionate, and academically strong individuals—we are focused on expanding both our reach and our impact.
These future plans will shape the educational experience of our students by creating a more interconnected, inclusive, and dynamic school culture. As we grow, we will continue to prioritize small class sizes, individualized learning, and real-world skill development. Our vision includes investments in teacher professional development, digital literacy, and interdisciplinary learning to ensure that students are equipped to thrive in a globalized world."
