Mission Statement

Columbus Academy -- an independent, coeducational college preparatory school -- enriches its academic tradition of excellence by valuing a broad diversity of students as it seeks to develop the complete person: mind, body and character. The school rewards rigorous effort and accomplishment, fosters compassion, respect and moral courage, and insists on integrity, fair play and community service. Academy strives to develop and sustain a community of thoughtful, responsible, capable and confident citizens eager to engage in a pluralistic and ever-changing world.

Athletic Philosophy

Upper School | The Purpose of the upper school interscholastic athletic program at Columbus Academy is threefold: 1. To provide those students with an interest in an athletics the opportunity to use and develop their athletic talent while participating in competitive contests under the direction of qualified and dedicated coaches. Additionally, we strive to continue to develop the ideas and habits of good health, fair play, initiative, achievement and emotional control. 2. To provide for our students leadership opportunities and cooperative learning experiences which contribute to team building. 3. To provide for our student body a solid foundation for the development of good school morals, for being sportsmanlike, and for exercising the qualities of fair play and courtesy. Middle School | The purpose of the middle school interscholastic athletic program is designed to meet the development needs of all student-athlete participants by developing skills, promoting sportsmanship and teamwork, and fostering a love of sports. Participation is the cornerstone of middle school athletics. The school recognizes that the goal is to provide the student-athlete as much playing time as possible. Various factors are taken into account that may effect playing time-most important of these factors are the student’s commitment, attitude and effort. The school also recognizes that it is not always possible for every child to play in every game, however, participation during the course of the season is the goal.

Sportsmanship

As you enjoy watching the competition, please keep in mind that we set the most important example for sportsmanship. Columbus Academy appreciates your support for the student-athletes competing.

Campus Hondros Field After full funding from John and Linda Hondros and their children Morgan, Cody ’00, Kelly ’06 and Hobie ’08, the Columbus Academy board of trustees voted to rename the stadium Hondros Field. A $1.25 million project completed by TurfFields in August 2014 replaced the stadium grass field with state-of-the-art artificial turf primarily used for football, lacrosse and soccer. The Hondros family’s gift encouraged several other Academy families to give anonymously in order to fund a second all-weather field, which was installed on the west side of campus next to the existing field hockey and lacrosse area out at Carlin Fields. As a result, Columbus Academy became one of the few Central Ohio schools to have two all-weather surfaces for practices and competitions. Hondros Field has since also served as a host site for several state tournaments during the fall and spring seasons. Hondros Field was officially dedicated on Sept. 5, 2014, at halftime of the Viking football game. The track surrounding the field, which was resurfaced in spring 2018, was also retained in memory of Mike Marsh.

Carlin Fields Dedicated in October 2016 in honor and memory of alumnus David P. Carlin ’56, Carlin Fields plays host to Viking field hockey and tennis, and also contains several multipurporse fields used for lacrosse and other sports for games, practice and various activities on campus. David was a Board member and generous Academy benefactor as well as the driving force behind obtaining that property in the mid-1980s. His foresight into the potential importance of that additional space for the school’s future use is further testament to his love and devotion to Columbus Academy. David’s widow and other members of the Carlin Family (pictured) were on hand for the dedication and unveiling of the new archway welcoming Viking families and guests to the western portion of campus.

James W. Stahl Field Home field for the Viking baseball team, James W. Stahl Field was named after Academy’s legendary baseball coach. In his 22 years at the helm of the Viking baseball program, Stahl compiled over 260 wins and won the Class A state title in 1982. A member of the CA and Ohio High School Baseball Coaches Association (OHSBCA) Hall of Fame, Stahl also led the Vikings to state runner-up honors in 1981 and the 1980 state semifinals. Coach Stahl also steered the program to a regional final and a pair of district finals over his tenure. In August 2022, Stahl Field underwent renovations including the installation of a high-performance artificial turf infield, new dugouts and a permanent outfield fence. The Vikings played their first game on the new turf field on April 4, 2023, and won 16-1 over Whitehall-Yearling HS.

Fa c i l i t i e s “The Mack” Named in honor of Columbus Academy’s Headmaster from 1997-2013, The John Mackenzie Gymnasium, nicknamed The Mack, is the home court of the Viking boys and girls basketball teams, as well as the volleyball team. During his 16 years at the helm, John Mackenzie led CA through a period of growth and many accomplishments, including extensive enhancements to the curriculum, increased enrollment, aesthetic improvements to campus, the implementation of successful programs in the areas of diversity, technology, ethics and character, and creating a sense of community for all.

Golf Putting Green and Short Game Practice Area The golf putting green and practice area was made possible by the generous support of Jason and Heidi Crowl, with additional support from several Columbus Academy alumni who played golf for the Vikings. This state-of-the-art putting green and chipping area located at Carlin Fields provides practice opportunities for our boys and girls Middle and Upper School golf programs to refine their craft around the green when competing on the course. It also has already given our younger students the ability to learn the game of golf through instruction in P.E. classes and with the Youth Sports program.

Fieldhouse & Fitness Center

Discussions about an indoor fieldhouse had been taking place for years, but the much-needed project became a reality when a group of Columbus Academy families came together to offer a significant portion of the funding, thus relieving the schoolfrom undertaking a major philanthropic campaign. Within the fieldhouse’s 24,000 square feet – which opened in January 2020 – are 18 basketball hoops suspended from the ceiling, a rock climbing wall next to stairs that lead up to a mezzanine, a conference room and six offices for coaches and staff. The flooring is a top-of-the-line Mondo surface that contains three regulation basketball courts used for practices, games, fitness training and PE classes. In addition, the existing locker rooms were overhauled and extra ones were added to accommodate all of our teams and to provide ample space for hosting multiple sporting events at the same time. The Fitness Center has evolved from what was once a typical weight room where teams workout, to a training area open to all students, faculty and staff. Racks in the facility have been upgraded with state-of-the-art lifting equipment, along with more floor space and various aerobic machines. These improvements have provided the opportunity for our strength and conditioning program to grow and continue to set the path for a fit and healthy lifestyle for students of all ages.
