Parent Academy Series

Each school year, Columbus Academy welcomes virtual and in-person speakers to discuss topics important to the development of both parents and students, and to help faculty gain valuable insight into how they can help our students flourish. All Academy parents/guardians are invited to register and attend these special events throughout the year. Learn more about the events and speakers below.

The ISACS Parent Series is a six-part virtual program that will take place via Zoom (not hosted on campus) for each session. This year-long series is designed for independent school parents and caregivers in all stages of their children's growth.
