Choosing Ave Maria Academy in Columbus means entrusting your child to a school where faith, virtue, and academic excellence are inseparably linked. From our play-based Catholic preschool guided by the Little Servant Sisters of the Immaculate Conception through an authentic classical education in grades 1–8, students are formed intellectually, spiritually, and morally. Guided by the Little Sisters of the Immaculate Conception, enriched by Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, and grounded in Catholic curricular integration, the Academy nurtures the whole child—mind, heart, and soul. Families can be confident that their children will not only achieve strong academic foundations but also grow in virtue, develop critical thinking, and cultivate a lifelong love of God and neighbor, preparing them to thrive as faithful, thoughtful, and engaged members of both Church and society.
