Soaring to New Heights

At A+ Children’s Academy, we’ve traded crowded classrooms for a safe and supportive learning environment centered on small-group instruction and hands-on, project-based discovery. Serving grades K–6, our curriculum is designed to bridge the gap between high academic standards and the creative exploration every child naturally craves.


We differentiate ourselves by focusing on the "Whole Child" through our signature "Three R’s" philosophy: Respectful, Responsible, and Ready. While many schools focus solely on test scores, we empower our students with the gift of self-advocacy—teaching them to find their own solutions and take ownership of their future.


Why families choose our Columbus K–6 school:


• Tailored Instruction: Small school size ensures every student receives the individual attention they deserve.

• Future-Focused: Annual career exploration days at Eastland Career Center for grades 4–6.

• Integrated Wellness: Daily morning meetings and dedicated Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) in every classroom.

• Project-Based Mastery: A blend of academic rigor and real-world, hands-on projects.
