    We are excited to announce CAA has achieved level 1 certification with the Marzano High Reliability Schools™ program. Level 1 certification means Columbia Adventist Academy is recognized as having a “Safe, Supportive, and Collaborative Culture,” which is the foundation for every level that follows. Without such a culture, student achievement will be compromised. Day-to-day school operations are addressed and evaluated in Level 1. 

    The high reliability school (HRS) program was created by Marzano Resources to help transform schools into organizations that take proactive steps to ensure student success. Using a research-based five-level hierarchy, along with leading and lagging indicators, educators learn to assess, monitor, and confirm the effectiveness of their schools. 

    This framework, based on 50 years of educational research, defines five progressive levels of performance that a school must master to become an HRS—where all students learn the content and skills they need for success in college, careers, and beyond. 

    “As you move through the levels, it represents a complete transformation in how schools are run,” says CEO Robert J. Marzano. 

    Schools must collect data and validate their performance to climb each level of the hierarchy. Certification is determined by Marzano Resources analysts in cooperation with school data teams. 

    Using the HRS framework and indicators, schools can drive sustained, positive, and significant impacts on student achievement by synthesizing multiple complex initiatives into one harmonious system.

    Life is tough and it has especially been difficult for educators, students, and families the last couple of years. CAA is blessed to have a community that believes in a wholistic approach to education and in spite of recent challenges we have seen amazing growth in our students. Here are a few comments we received after sending our our end-of-year parent survey.

    I can’t tell you how happy we are with our student's progression last year and this year. He has grown so much because of CAA and his teachers support of him. I had absolutely no doubt he was capable of this academically, but to see him growing in all the ways he has over the last 4 years is so heart warming. He has grown into a wonderful person and your patience and support has helped him to achieve this. He has grown academically, emotionally, and spiritually into the amazing guy. When I look at my son I see the best gift a mom could have. Thank you! 

    Thank you for all you do! I'm proud to have my children attend CAA.

    CAA's strengths are small class sizes, quality, caring teachers, and great community support.

    Jesus led, caring teachers, and good academic programs.

    The strength of this school is the relationships students have with their teachers and others.

    CAA teachers go above and beyond.

    The spiritual environment, ministry, community outreach, involvement, and mentoring are the strengths of CAA

    Student teacher ratio, quality academics, and personal attention.

    The teachers are the greatest strength of the school. They are helpful and care about my student. I only have good things to say about the teachers my student had this past year.

    Teacher student relationships. CAA values and loves the kids.

    Caring and involved teachers/staff who really go the extra mile for students socially, academically, and spiritually. Christ focused education with Christian values.

    Teachers! I heard so many times, I love my teachers. The leadership is definitely a strength as well. They have created an environment where the students can have open discussions with their teachers. We appreciate this approach.

    The variety of courses, staff members that are Jesus-centered and the dedication of the staff

    Allowing our kids to grow and mature while learning and choosing what's best for them.

    Teachers are always available to offer extra help.
