CLINTONVILLE ACADEMY
Columbus, OH
At Clintonville Academy, we understand your priorities as a parent considering a private school education for your child.
Quality Academics
Individualized Attention
Healthy Social Environment
Reasonable Cost
In 1978, an engaged group of parents and teachers started Clintonville Academy wanting a high-performing, community-oriented school with a hands-on approach to primary school learning.
In 2025, our priorities remain the same – as does our commitment to meeting all of these needs at a cost well within reach of an independent school experience.
Our approach is not radical, it’s personal – to us, to our families and to the community we serve. We look forward to meeting you as you explore new opportunities for your student.
WHY CLINTONVILLE ACADEMY?
Challenging Curriculum
Character & Citizenship Focus
Personalized Attention
ACADEMICS
We build thinkers, doers, and confident learners.
At Clintonville Academy, we believe learning should feel purposeful, engaging, and joyful. Our academic program is built around clearly defined stages of development …from the exploration-rich early years to the readiness-focused middle school experience. With small class sizes, responsive instruction, and an integrated curriculum, students are known, challenged, and prepared.
TESTIMONIALS
Since joining the CA community, my son has an entirely new outlook on school. He still hates getting up early (lol), but he’s made close friends he enjoys seeing every day, and is making marked improvement in subjects he used to struggle with. So thankful!
One of the best experiences my daughter has had at CA was after a misunderstanding between her and a classmate, that left her upset and unable to focus. Mrs. Quehl kindly pulled her aside and asked her what happened. In no time at all, she was calm again and able to finish her work.
What we appreciate about CA is the chance to be involved with the families of our son’s friends. We’ve volunteered on school projects together and gotten to know them well enough that we’re completely comfortable knowing who he’s with when they spend time together outside of school.
