Continuous Enrollment
Columbia Academy’s Elementary and Middle School operates on a continuous enrollment basis. Below are some frequently asked questions about continuous enrollment.
What is continuous enrollment?
Once families have completed enrollment they will be automatically enrolled for the following school year, unless they notify us otherwise. Continuous enrollment means families won’t have to re-enroll every year, and current families will have a guaranteed placement each school year.
How does continuous enrollment make our learning community stronger?
By ensuring we know our enrollment numbers early we can plan instructional programs more effectively, hire the most qualified staff, and build an even stronger academic program.
How does continuous enrollment help you?
Continuous enrollment simplifies the re-enrollment process. By opting into continuous enrollment, there is no need to reapply year after year; your child will have a spot in the next grade level unless you notify the school otherwise.
